Policies that dont trickle down.

Policies that line the pocket of the rich.

Food can never be cheap with current petrol prices.

There is something called supply chain, which tinubu and the rest of his administration is refusing to acknowledge.

You cannot make the supply change expensive (with expensive fuel) and expect food to be cheap.

You are out of touch with implementation of your fiscal policies.

“When inflation comes down, the exchange rate will stabilise. Interest rates will come down and the economy will have a chance. People will have a chance at reasonable rates to invest in various sectors of the economy, increase productivity, grow the economy and create jobs which is the key to reducing poverty,” he said.

“As food prices decrease, inflation is expected to drop, which will stabilise the exchange rate and lower interest rates. This environment will encourage investments, boost productivity, and create jobs—essential steps in reducing poverty” he said.

Finally, some action from the FG!

It's about time we see a robust plan that prioritizes the well-being of the citizens.

Ernchibyke:
So long as corruption and looting is still the talk of the day, all this strategic approach will always be a sham.
He built Lagos, but in Lagos he was the sole looters, nationally now there's region by region looting, state by state, then personalized/individualized looting.

Tinubu can't change course for better. He doesn't know how and what to do.
The hope available now is soonest this hunger and hardship will be the new normal, people will get use to it and move on with life.

how is an announcement of what has not been done the same thing as action?

trutharena:
This is a welcome development, finally some serious planning from the FG. It's about time they put the citizens' welfare at the forefront instead of the usual empty promises. Let's see how this strategy translates into real benefits for everyday Nigerians.

No President has ever attempted what BAT did because of the fear of 2nd term.

Removed subsidy
Local government autonomy
Harmonized the fx exchange rate...

BAT remains the goal....
The husband of the cabals....

This is what I've been saying
There's no food shortage in Nigeria. At least, the high cost of food items is not caused by food shortage. What we are battling with is cost of doing business. Any business be it agric or tech and it is caused by spiralling fuel price.
Any other thing is just a waste of time. Even the imported food will still be transported. The dollars to import it will still be sourced at 1600 to a dollar!

POV25:

It's a commendable effort by the Minister. Loans for the informal sector weren't mentioned; loans from government programs or financial institutions typically require business registration. The issue of farmers' insecurity must also be addressed, and we need more companies that are export-intensive. Most of our youths have a skill deficit required in the modern-day economy.

Unfortunately, the sun is beginning to lose its touch with good journalism. I took my time to read the Op and I didn't see any strategy. The exact quote from the minister is just what everyone who took economics classes in senior secondary school should know so I wonder where the strategy is outlined in the story. This is shameful.

With Sen. Abubakar Kyari on the saddle @ FMAFS, President Tinunu's administration will hardly achieve any of its plans for the agricultural sector.

That being said, it's high time the President rejig his cabinet & throw out dead weights of which his cabinet is loaded with many of them. He should also consider appointing a non-northerner as Agric Minister; last time we'd a Minister in that ministry that actually made any impact that even - majority if not all - smallholder farmers (who produce at least 80% of our Agric produce) could attest to, he was a non-northerner (Dr. Akin Adesina, now AfDB President).

Since then, every other Agric Minister (before him & till date, all of them northerners) have just been occupying that position with nothing tangible to show for it other than a trail of corruption and bad loans.

DeepSight:


The portion that scared me was where he said something like "with this new approach supported by the commitment of the president. . ."

My stomach churned because it just sounded like something one would read Comrade Squealer telling the Animals about the commitment of Comrade Napoleon in Animal Farm.

Sheuns:
So much for the economic team that made Lagos greatest economy in the world according to Agabdo Ronu miscreants.

All they know is speaking big big grammar. None of their so called sophisticated brains have been able to solve one problem since they assumed power. They’ve only compounded existing ones, adding their own alongside.

Overhyped transformers.

what will rejigging cabinet achieve?

have you heard the adage that "when the head of the fish is rotten, the rest of the body will go along with it"?

lexy2014:


how is something that is announcement but yet to be implemented "commendable"?

are the people governing nigeria skill efficient required in the modern day economy?
