Tinubu, governors meet on food crisis as emirs and NBA decry hardship.

The Northern traditional rulers and the Nigerian Bar Association expressed their concern over the struggles faced by citizens under the Tinubu administration. They highlighted the negative effects of the removal of fuel subsidies, which has led to increased transport costs and food inflation. This has resulted in significant hardships for many Nigerians, and both groups are calling for action to address these issues and alleviate the burden on the people.

The traditional rulers and the NBA are both urging the Federal Government to address the economic crisis in the country as soon as possible. In a move to find solutions, President Bola Tinubu will convene a closed-door meeting with state governors at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja tomorrow (Thursday). According to two Presidency officials, this meeting will take place before the President’s scheduled departure to Ethiopia for the African Union meeting.

The governors also expressed their concerns over the current state of insecurity in the country, particularly in the North East and North Central regions. The meeting with the President is expected to address these issues and find solutions to the challenges facing the nation. This is a critical time for Nigeria and the outcome of this meeting could have a significant impact on the future of the country. It is important for all parties involved to approach this meeting with an open mind and a willingness to work together towards a better and more secure future for all Nigerians.

The Presidency also claimed that the governors were not utilizing the funds they received from the federal government adequately and accused them of not prioritizing the needs of their citizens. However, the governors argued that they have been struggling to manage their states due to the limited resources they receive from the federal government. This situation has led to protests in various states as citizens express their frustration and demand action from their leaders to address the economic challenges they are facing.

It is a serious matter when millions of young people are without jobs and struggling to survive. We must take action before the situation escalates, as the consequences could be dire.

Let us not wait for trouble to find us, but instead proactively address the challenges facing our society.

This includes not leaving any inch of Nigerian territory ungoverned and preventing any part of the country from falling under the control of illegal and dangerous groups.
