ACF Criticizes Tinubu’s Policies, Highlights Northern Challenges
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has expressed concerns over the worsening economic crisis in Northern Nigeria, attributing it to the policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
In a communique issued by National Publicity Secretary Prof. Tukur Muhammad-Baba on November 20, the ACF called for a review of these policies, noting their adverse impact on the region.
“The current Federal Government’s policies continue to worsen the precarious conditions in Arewa. Economic reforms, while necessary, should not impoverish the people they aim to serve,” the ACF stated.
The forum also highlighted escalating insecurity, poor educational outcomes, and inadequate electricity supply as major challenges.
It urged the Federal Government to ensure security, address the growing food crisis, and embrace constructive criticism to improve governance.
Furthermore, the ACF advised northern governors to adopt coordinated strategies in critical areas such as security, education, and agriculture to mitigate the region’s challenges.
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
