 Politics › Re: Reforms: Only Tinubu Could Have Done This - Penguin2 by marod(m): 9:30am On Jun 02, 2025 |
Ofunaofu:According to @groks, The Tinubu-led administration in Nigeria implemented several measures to mitigate the economic hardship caused by the removal of the fuel subsidy in May 2023. Below is a list of key plans and actions taken to cushion the effects: New Minimum Wage:The administration introduced a new national minimum wage of ₦70,000, signed into law in July 2024, to improve workers' purchasing power amid rising living costs due to subsidy removal. This was a significant increase from the previous ₦30,000 minimum wage. Wage Award for Civil Servants:A provisional wage award of ₦35,000 per month was approved for federal civil servants, effective from September 2023, as a temporary measure to alleviate the impact of subsidy removal until the new minimum wage was implemented. Conditional Cash Transfer Program:The government secured an $800 million World Bank loan to fund cash transfers to 12 million poor households, providing $10 monthly for six months to stimulate economic activity in the informal sector and improve nutrition, health, and education. Infrastructure Support Fund for States:An Infrastructure Support Fund was established to enable states to invest in critical areas such as transportation and food distribution, with funds already disbursed to provide relief packages against rising costs. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Buses Initiative:To reduce transportation costs, the administration introduced cheaper, safer CNG-powered buses, which operate at a fraction of the cost of petrol. Additionally, CNG conversion kits and training facilities were rolled out to create opportunities for transport operators and entrepreneurs. Food Security and Agricultural Support:A state of emergency on food security was declared, with immediate actions including the release of grains and fertilizers to households to boost agricultural production and curb food price inflation. The National Food Security Initiative also distributed food to vulnerable groups in 11 states and the Federal Capital Territory since March 2024. Consumer Credit and Student Loan Schemes:The Consumer Credit Scheme and the Nigerian Student Loan Fund were launched to ease financial burdens and support education, providing access to credit and educational opportunities for citizens. Tax Reductions on Perishables:Importation taxes on perishable goods were removed to lower the cost of essential items and improve affordability for Nigerians. These measures were designed to address the immediate economic challenges, such as inflation and increased transportation costs, while laying the groundwork for long-term economic stability through infrastructure and social welfare investments. 1 Like |

Even in the worse case scenario, Tinubu still wins. Its not about the percentage, but the total number of eligible voters in each region. Let us consider the number and assume voters' turn out in each of these regions to be 50%. NW - 22.67m - 11.34m SW - 18.30m - 9.15m SS - 15.20m - 7.60m NC - 14.10m - 7.05m NE - 12.80m - 6.40m SE - 11.49m - 5.75m Tinubu Atiku Obi 40% 30% 10% NW 4.54m 3.40m 1.13m 60% 20% 15% SW 4.58m 1.83m 1.37m 10% 25% 60% SS 0.76m 1.90m 4.56m 40% 35% 15% NC 2.82m 2.47m 1.06m 30% 55% 10% NE 1.92m 3.52m 0.64m 5% 10% 80% SE 0.29m 0.58m 4.6m 15.54m 13.7m 13.36m This is the worst that can happen to Tinubu.

https://tribuneonlineng.com/drop-students-loan-bill-ASUU-tells-reps/ HomeLatest News Drop Students’ Loan Bill, ASUU Tells Reps LATEST NEWSTOP NEWS By Tunbosun Ogundare - Lagos On Feb 7, 2022 Professor Emmanuel Osodeke Share The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has asked the House of Representatives to drop the Student’s Loan Bill currently before it, saying the bill is totally unnecessary. The President of the union, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, gave this position in an exclusive interview with Nigerian Tribune. He said there was simply no basis for such a bill to have been introduced in the first instance in the House let alone members debating it to become a policy in a country as Nigeria with a high burden of graduates’ unemployment. The Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, is the sponsor of the bill. According to him, it is obvious that most graduates in the country, especially those from poor homes without connection to high profile persons in the society, don’t get a job many years even up to 10 or more years after graduation and let assume such a graduate has incurred a loan of up to N6 million or more while in school, how would he or she pay back such loan? “And we should not also pretend not to know that such loan would have matured in about 10 years up to more than double of the principal amount and so if those students don’t get a job since getting a job is not an automatic thing, how would such a graduate pay back or his or her father, who is earning about N30,000 monthly as salary helps in paying back such a loan? “So, I think we should all be realistic and not deceive ourselves any longer in Nigeria as this policy cannot work at least for now and also not in near future in our country,” he emphasised. Commenting on government claims of lack of money to fund education well and that can warrant the introduction of high tuition fees in public tertiary schools, the ASUU boss said such a claim was nothing but deceptive. According to him, it is not that there is no money in the treasury but the political leaders have misplaced priority in spending it. He said what the political leaders across tiers lack is the political will to commit significant resources to the education sector and more so that majority of them have their children studying abroad or at worse in private schools in the country. He said that was why their annual budgets on education over time have always been below 10 per cent of their respective budgets as they believe they have almost nothing to lose. He said a way out of this scenario that would make the education sector stands out and performs its roles is for the government at all levels to fund education well by allocating a tangible percentage of their annual budgets that would up to 20 per cent or more to education. He said that was how it is being done in developed countries and even in neighbouring Ghana. https://tribuneonlineng.com/drop-students-loan-bill-ASUU-tells-reps/ |

How I made my first millions – Tinubu BySamuel Ogundipe April 2, 2016 Reading Time: 2 mins read Former Lagos State Governor and a leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has narrated how a working trip he made while serving as an auditor for auditing giant, Deloitte and Touche, made him an “instant millionaire”. Mr. Tinubu first served as a senator in the short-lived third republic and later as governor of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007. He has been accused of making a fortune from politics. “At Deloitte and Touche, I chose to travel more than 80 per cent of my working years there. And that is because if a staff chose to travel, he would make more money because he would get travel allowances,” Mr. Tinubu said in a lengthy interview he granted TheNews Magazine on March 29 about his journey through life as he celebrated his 64th birthday. Mr. Tinubu said he was sent on an assignment to help set up a an accounting and auditing system for a joint-venture between National Oil and Aramco in Saudi Arabia but by the time he returned to the United States, he discovered that his account had been credited in millions. “We had gone there to set up their accounting and auditing system. It was while on that service that I got my financial break. When I returned to the United States, my employers gave me a huge bonus, which instantly turned me into a millionaire. “The bonus was $850,000, before taxes. My salaries were also being paid into the bank and I was not touching them. At the time, my salary deposits in the bank had risen to about $1.8 million.” Asked if he was not frightened by the development, Mr. Tinubu said, “No. This is because I had a strong grasp of financial matters. I was happy. I bought a house from the money and invested the rest in the U.S. I was living well. I was living in one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in the south of Chicago.” Mr. Tinubu said he stayed back working for several years in the United States after completing his degree in Chicago. He worked in Deloitte and Touch before returning to Nigeria to serve as an accounting executive for Mobil. |

Two colleagues got employed on a similar pay grade and working conditions. The other worked harder and rapidly got promoted, hence earns more than the later. At a function, the other contributed more but we are defending the later that, since he earns lesser, it's an unjust comparison. To their relatives, the other spends over 1,000, being 80% of his income on them while the later spends 100, being 50% of his income on them. The relative of the other are appreciative and filling indebted, but the relative of the later are telling them that, based on their own estimation, their benefactor (the other) should have more and should have given them much more. However, they are satisfied with what their own benefactor (the later) gave them. Now, they are both vying for the top position of their organisation, since they are both qualified. In terms of performance and achievement, the other stands out and his track records speaks for him. However, the later and his team thinks it's baseless to consider performance, achievement and track records. Rather, religion, the fact that none has ever led the organisation from their department, the fact that the other is older than the later, though they both ain't youth and their perceived Ill health of the other even though he has been more active than the later. When staff of the other's department and other well meaning staff from other departments noted that the later has not walked and even worked the talks, they are insulted. When they are afraid that the later is inexperienced, less intelligent and knows little about the peculiarities of the company, but just quote and reference bogus statistics from other companies, they are threatened. When they fear that he might divide the company as he has been a known sympathiser of those calling for the break up of the company, they are called names. When they are concerned that he will not run an all inclusive company as he has never considered any other tribe nor religion in his department unlike the other, and he has sometimes exhibited open hatred for others and sentiments for his, they are bullied. 1 Like 1 Share |
