Primate Ayodele Urges Tinubu to Address Rising Food Prices for Government Stability
On Tuesday, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, cautioned President Bola Tinubu to find a sustainable solution to the soaring prices of food items if he hopes to maintain stability within his administration.
Primate Ayodele criticized the current approach of the Tinubu-led government, suggesting that it appears to be floundering in its efforts to tackle the issue of rising food costs.
He accused certain elements of undermining the government’s efforts and leveraging the situation to create political challenges for the administration.
In a statement released by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, the prophet warned that the government’s short-term measures to address food prices are insufficient and could potentially exacerbate the situation.
He argued that without a comprehensive and long-term strategy, the government’s attempts to mitigate the crisis will likely lead to increased hardship for the populace.
Ayodele expressed concern that the government’s current strategy is merely a temporary fix, which he believes will ultimately lead to more difficulties rather than relief.
“The government appears to be at a loss about how to handle the escalating prices of food items.
Their short-term solutions are not effective and will only bring about more suffering,” he stated. He also indicated that the ongoing rise in food prices could fuel unrest and make it challenging for the government to achieve peace and stability.
While Ayodele acknowledged the efforts of individuals and churches that have been working to ease the burden on the public, he emphasized that these contributions cannot substitute for substantial governmental action.
He commended the various entities that have been involved in alleviating hardship but stressed that the government has a crucial role to play in implementing effective and lasting solutions.

FG Extends NYSC Orientation Camp From 3 to 6 Weeks
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.”

Federal Government Clarifies Position on Proposed Tax Recommendations
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.”
