Secretary General to the Federation (SGF), George Akume is very angry with those blaming the economic hardship on the removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu.
He said: “Nigerians must remain calm. President Bola Tinubu is working to improve the economy.”
“One of them, which appears to be a little bit tough for people to understand, is the removal of subsidy on fuel. People should stop shouting; they need to know the actual truth.”
“We are all aware of the N35,000 wage award for workers, which means a N30,000 minimum wage with 35,000 on top of that.”
“Additionally, 100 billion naira for CNG fuel buses will help reduce transportation costs and food prices.”
“These include the allocation of N125 billion in conditional grants and financial inclusion for medium and small enterprises, and 150 billion naira in palliative loans to states to mitigate the impact of fuel subsidy removal.”
“We are providing 200 billion naira to support the cultivation of hectares of land, which is even more now.”
