Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu has said that a few people stole Nigeria’s commonwealth under the pretence of subsidy in the last 40 years.
The president stated this on Monday at the second-term inauguration of Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State in Owerri,
Tinubu however lamented that Nigerians are at the receiving end of the pains of the loot.
He said he is aware of the concerns of Nigerians, assuring them that the challenges of the essential reforms of his administration are being handled.
He further disclosed that his administration will pay closer attention to education and healthcare, and also provide an enabling environment for industrialisation and investments in line with his vision of creating an economically stable and prosperous country.
He said, “In the past 40 years, a few people were cornering our commonwealth and calling it subsidy, but I call it wasteful. Right now, we are all bearing and sharing that pain. But things are looking up. Things will get better for the good of all Nigerians. With me, there is hope.
“I assure you that there will be substantial development in education for your children; priority is on industrialisation and healthcare will receive more allocation and attention. We will train more health workers.”
