Tinubu Says Ending Fuel Subsidies And Fixing Taxes Are Helping Nigeria
Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.
Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.
Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.
On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.
The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
