First Lady Oluremi Tinubu Says Husband Not to Blame for Nigeria’s Economic Hardship
Nigeria’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu recently addressed the pressing economic challenges facing the country, emphasizing that her husband, President Bola Tinubu, should not bear the blame for the current difficulties.
During her remarks at the palace of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, she highlighted that the administration is still in its early stages, having only been in power for two years.
The First Lady was in Ife for the inauguration of a newly built hostel and a 2.7-kilometre road at Obafemi Awolowo University, which were generously donated by the Ooni and named in her honour.
This event reflects the collaboration between the monarchy and educational institutions in improving infrastructure for students.
Oluremi Tinubu reassured the public about the administration’s commitment to addressing the nation’s economic issues.
She stated, “We are just two years into our administration. We are not the cause of the current situation. We are working diligently to rectify it and secure a brighter future for our citizens.”
She acknowledged the challenges brought on by the recent removal of fuel subsidies, a critical topic in Nigeria’s economic landscape.
Many Nigerians have felt the impact of this change, which has led to rising costs of living.
However, the First Lady expressed optimism, saying, “With God’s guidance, we believe that in the next two years, Nigeria will surpass its current state of hardship.
Those who have previously attempted to remove subsidies have struggled to see it through, but we are confident that with your prayers and support, we can build a nation that thrives in the future.”
Her message aimed to inspire hope and unity among the citizens, urging them to remain steadfast as the administration navigates the complexities of governance.
The event also showcased the importance of community support and collaboration in addressing national challenges, particularly in the educational sector.
Through initiatives like these, the First Lady hopes to demonstrate the administration’s commitment to fostering development and enhancing the lives of Nigerians across the country.
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.
“The first two weeks speak to laying a foundation on civic responsibility. The next two weeks will look at career mapping, basic accounting literacy skills, business planning and access to finance. The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
With the rainy season in Nigeria, many are wondering if the increase in flooding has now become the new normal. Lots of videos, clips, and complaints have literally flooded online, showing how badly roads, homes, and other places have been affected.
We were used to hearing about the rise of water on the Island since it is literally surrounded by water, but now floods are being spotted on the Mainland as well.
We may not know exactly why this is happening, but one thing is certain—we urgently need a lasting solution.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
