TEXT OF THE NATIONAL BROADCAST BY PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU TO NIGERIANS ON CURRENT ECONOMIC CHALLENGES

_AFTER DARKNESS COMES THE GLORIOUS DAWN_

My fellow citizens,

I want to talk to you about our economy. It is important that you understand the reasons for the policy measures I have taken to combat the serious economic challenges this nation has long faced.

2. I am not going to talk in difficult terms by dwelling on economic jargon and concepts. I will speak in plain, clear language so that you know where I stand. More importantly, so that you see and hopefully will share my vision regarding the journey to a better, more productive economy for our beloved country.

3. For several years, I have consistently maintained the position that the fuel subsidy had to go. This once beneficial measure had outlived its usefulness. The subsidy cost us trillions of Naira yearly. Such a vast sum of money would have been better spent on public transportation, healthcare, schools, housing and even national security. Instead, it was being funnelled into the deep pockets and lavish bank accounts of a select group of individuals.

4. This group had amassed so much wealth and power that they became a serious threat to the fairness of our economy and the integrity of our democratic governance. To be blunt, Nigeria could never become the society it was intended to be as long as such small, powerful yet unelected groups hold enormous influence over our political economy and the institutions that govern it.

5. The whims of the few should never hold dominant sway over the hopes and aspirations of the many. If we are to be a democracy, the people and not the power of money must be sovereign.

6. The preceding administration saw this looming danger as well. Indeed, it made no provision in the 2023 Appropriations for subsidy after June this year. Removal of this once helpful device that had transformed into a millstone around the country’s neck had become inevitable.

7. Also, the multiple exchange rate system that had been established became nothing but a highway of currency speculation. It diverted money that should have been used to create jobs, build factories and businesses for millions of people. Our national wealth was doled on favourable terms to a handful of people who have been made filthy rich simply by moving money from one hand to another. This too was extremely unfair.

8. It also compounded the threat that the illicit and mass accumulation of money posed to the future of our democratic system and its economy.

9. I had promised to reform the economy for the long-term good by fighting the major imbalances that had plagued our economy. Ending the subsidy and the preferential exchange rate system were key to this fight. This fight is to define the fate and future of our nation. Much is in the balance.

10. Thus, the defects in our economy immensely profited a tiny elite, the elite of the elite you might call them. As we moved to fight the flaws in the economy, the people who grow rich from them, predictably, will fight back through every means necessary.

11. Our economy is going through a tough patch and you are being hurt by it. The cost of fuel has gone up. Food and other prices have followed it. Households and businesses struggle. Things seem anxious and uncertain. I understand the hardship you face. I wish there were other ways. But there is not. If there were, I would have taken that route as I came here to help not hurt the people and nation that I love.

12. What I can offer in the immediate is to reduce the burden our current economic situation has imposed on all of us, most especially on businesses, the working class and the most vulnerable among us.

13. Already, the Federal Government is working closely with states and local governments to implement interventions that will cushion the pains of our people across socio-economic brackets.

14. Earlier this month, I signed four (4) Executive Orders in keeping with my electoral promise to address unfriendly fiscal policies and multiple taxes that are stifling the business environment. These Executive Orders on suspension and deferred commencement of some taxes will provide the necessary buffers and headroom to businesses in the manufacturing sector to continue to thrive and expand.

15. To strengthen the manufacturing sector, increase its capacity to expand and create good paying jobs, we are going to spend N75 billion between July 2023 and March 2024. Our objective is to fund 75 enterprises with great potential to kick-start a sustainable economic growth, accelerate structural transformation and improve productivity. Each of the 75 manufacturing enterprises will be able to access N1 Billion credit at 9% per annum with maximum of 60 months repayment for long term loans and 12 months for working capital.

16. Our administration recognises the importance of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and the informal sector as drivers of growth. We are going to energise this very important sector with N125 billion.

17. Out of the sum, we will spend N50 billion on Conditional Grant to 1 million nano businesses between now and March 2024. Our target is to give N50,000 each to 1,300 nano business owners in each of the 774 local governments across the country.

18. Ultimately, this programme will further drive financial inclusion by onboarding beneficiaries into the formal banking system. In like manner, we will fund 100,000 MSMEs and start-ups with N75 billion. Under this scheme, each enterprise promoter will be able to get between N500,000 to N1million at 9% interest per annum and a repayment period of 36 months.

19. To further ensure that prices of food items remain affordable, we have had a multi-stakeholder engagement with various farmers’ associations and operators within the agricultural value chain.

20. In the short and immediate terms, we will ensure staple foods are available and affordable. To this end, I have ordered the release of 200,000 Metric Tonnes of grains from strategic reserves to households across the 36 states and FCT to moderate prices. We are also providing 225,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer, seedlings and other inputs to farmers who are committed to our food security agenda.

21. Our plan to support cultivation of 500,000 hectares of farmland and all-year-round farming practice remains on course. To be specific, N200 billion out of the N500 billion approved by the National Assembly will be disbursed as follows:

-Our administration will invest N50 billion each to cultivate 150,000 hectares of rice and maize.

-N50 billion each will also be earmarked to cultivate 100,000 hectares of wheat and cassava.

22. This expansive agricultural programme will be implemented targeting small-holder farmers and leveraging large-scale private sector players in the agric business with strong performance record.

23. In this regard, the expertise of Development Finance Institutions, commercial banks and microfinance banks will be tapped into to develop a viable and an appropriate transaction structure for all stakeholders.

24. Fellow Nigerians, I made a solemn pledge to work for you. How to improve your welfare and living condition is of paramount importance to me and it’s the only thing that keeps me up day and night.

25. It is in the light of this that I approved the Infrastructure Support Fund for the States. This new Infrastructure Fund will enable States to intervene and invest in critical areas and bring relief to many of the pain points as well as revamp our decaying healthcare and educational Infrastructure.

26. The fund will also bring improvements to rural access roads to ease evacuation of farm produce to markets. With the fund, our states will become more competitive and on a stronger financial footing to deliver economic prosperity to Nigerians.

27. Part of our programme is to roll out buses across the states and local governments for mass transit at a much more affordable rate. We have made provision to invest N100 billion between now and March 2024 to acquire 3000 units of 20-seater CNG-fuelled buses.

28. These buses will be shared to major transportation companies in the states, using the intensity of travel per capital. Participating transport companies will be able to access credit under this facility at 9% per annum with 60 months repayment period.

29. In the same vein, we are also working in collaboration with the Labour unions to introduce a new national minimum wage for workers. I want to tell our workers this: your salary review is coming.

30. Once we agree on the new minimum wage and general upward review, we will make budget provision for it for immediate implementation.

31. I want to use this opportunity to salute many private employers in the Organised Private Sector who have already implemented general salary review for employees.

32. Fellow Nigerians, this period may be hard on us and there is no doubt about it that it is tough on us. But I urge you all to look beyond the present temporary pains and aim at the larger picture. All of our good and helpful plans are in the works. More importantly, I know that they will work.

33. Sadly, there was an unavoidable lag between subsidy removal and these plans coming fully online. However, we are swiftly closing the time gap. I plead with you to please have faith in our ability to deliver and in our concern for your well-being.

34. We will get out of this turbulence. And, due to the measures we have taken, Nigeria will be better equipped and able to take advantage of the future that awaits her.

35. In a little over two months, we have saved over a trillion Naira that would have been squandered on the unproductive fuel subsidy which only benefitted smugglers and fraudsters. That money will now be used more directly and more beneficially for you and your families.

36. For example, we shall fulfill our promise to make education more affordable to all and provide loans to higher education students who may need them. No Nigerian student will have to abandon his or her education because of lack of money.

37. Our commitment is to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of our people. On this principle, we shall never falter.

38. We are also monitoring the effects of the exchange rate and inflation on gasoline prices. If and when necessary, we will intervene.

39. I assure you my fellow country men and women that we are exiting the darkness to enter a new and glorious dawn.

40. Now, I must get back to work in order to make this vision come true.

41. Thank you all for listening and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Transforming Ebonyi State: Governor Nwifuru's Visionary Leadership Paves the Way for Technological Revolution.

Ebonyi State, Nigeria - In a bold move aimed at harnessing the power of technology to address societal challenges and enhance governance, His Excellency Rt. Hon.

The establishment of the Ministry of ICT demonstrates Governor Nwifuru's visionary leadership and innovative mindset.

More stupid that I thought. The man that built more than seven flyovers on one single Federal highway. Not even one single flyover inside Abakaliki town. But he quickly ran to live in new Abakaliki capital city( Centenary city) built by another governor, Martin Elechi to be precise , abandoning the old government house during the endsars. I thought he said President Buhari promised to make him president. I don't know why Peter Obi effects did not catch up with him. People like this should give way to the new order. He had been PDP Ebonyi state chairman, Deputy governor and governor for eight years. It's time he gives way for others.

Do you have personal problem with Dave Unahi? You said he went to live In Century City built by Elechi administration, is governance not a continuous system? Dave Umahi has done really well in infrastructural development. Please give him some credits.

Dave Umahi is a good politician who knows how to get what he wants. He has demonstrated it in his cordial relationship with Buhari. Even when he was in the opposition party yet he got more from FG more than other APC Governors.
I like the man

Mine is a capacity Governor

Has done over 1000km roads
Over 12 flyovers
Built one of the best Health Science Universities and Teaching Hospitals.
International Airport 98 percent completed
Empowerment programs
Stadium in progress
Built School of Nursing and midwifery
Dualize several important roads
Built/ completed International market
Build several healthcare centers.

Engr. David Umahi is a rare gem in Nigerian politics.

Carelessness at its peak

Dear Desmond Elliot,

The people you represent, the great people of Lagos and Nigerians aren't holding anything against you.

Your performance as a member of the Lagos state House of assembly will speak for you at the polls.

Whatever you said about Nigerians in the past stays in the past.. If you have done well, you wi know, come 18th March 2023.

This your comment reminded me of a popular proverb in my village where a man bought a cow and called one of his in-laws to kill the cow and also butcher the meat. The in-law killed the cow and butchered the meat but ended up hiding majority of the meat in his sack bag. When he finished he called the man and asked, “Oga I hope I did a nice job?” The man responded, if I call you next time then you should know that you did well but if I don’t then know also that you didn’t do well. So on 18th of March, Desmond will know whether or not he has done well.

No Expectation No Regret

“No expectation, no regret" is a mindset that emphasizes the importance of letting go of expectations and focusing on the present moment. It suggests that when we don't have any expectations or preconceived notions about how things should be, we are better equipped to handle any challenges or disappointments that may arise.

Expectations can lead to disappointment, frustration, and dissatisfaction because they set a certain standard that we expect the world, family, partners and friends to meet. When the reality doesn't align with our expectations, we may feel let down or frustrated. In contrast, when we let go of expectations, we are more open to accepting whatever comes our way. This can lead to a more relaxed and stress-free life, as we are not constantly trying to measure up to an imagined standard.

The "no expectation, no regret" philosophy also encourages us to live in the present moment and not worry about the future or dwell on the past. When we focus on what is happening in the here and now, we are able to fully engage with our experiences and appreciate them for what they are. This can lead to greater happiness and contentment, as we are not constantly looking for ways to improve upon the present moment.

Another aspect of this philosophy is that it encourages us to take risks and embrace uncertainty. When we let go of our expectations, we are less afraid of failure or disappointment, and we are more open to trying new things. This can lead to personal growth and new experiences, as we are not afraid to step outside of our comfort zone.

"No expectation, no regret" is a mindset that has helped me live a more fulfilling and contented life. By letting go of expectations and focusing on the present moment, we can reduce stress, increase happiness, and embrace new experiences. This philosophy can serve as a reminder to be more mindful, to focus on what we have, and to live life to the fullest.

This is my core philosophy in life.
Shalom!

Moments of Reality and Actualization of Umahi's achievement at Ebonyi international airport

First flight lands at the Ebonyi State International Airport, inspects readiness of the Airport for arrival of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to Ebonyi State tomorrow, Akubaruoha is a man of vision.
Engr. David Umahi is the right person to change the narrative of Nigerian State 2023
Let us come together to vote innovation and service delivery

Malory:
A black market judgement obtained in a kangaroo court that can not stand the test of time. Ex governor Umahi should vacate the government house and submit himself to EFCC for immediate prosecution due to wanton looting of Ebonyi's scarce resources.
His Excellency Igariwey should address the state now as the people's governor of the state

Talk is cheap. You have won yourself an accolade as the best dreamer of the century. Idiot

"FIGHT DIRTY" ALERT!!!
Nestor C Nzeribe

The March 8 judgement of an Abuja High Court sacking David Nweze Umahi FNSE, FNATE, from continuing as the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, is as controversial as it is laden with multiple implications.

The logic behind the learned Justice's pronouncement seems to lack precedents in the record books of contemporary political trials in Nigeria. Could it be that there exists a high level political orchestration ongoing to curtail the bludgeoning political progress of an Igbo son

It is apparent that some politicians from beyond Igbo land are after David Nweze Umahi. With President Mohammadu Buhari out of the country and his Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo in charge fully, one may not have to look too far away, to know the source of the sudden woes of the governor.

When you also add the brouhaha over the zoning of the Presidency of Nigeria in 2023 to the southwest, the intractable crisis boiling in the ruling Party, the fact of Umahi's determined push for the Presidency and the speed of light at which the sack saga is developing, to the facts already referred to, you will simply know that some people have lent themselves to the "enemy"

I may not dwell on the technical angles of the judgment because doing so would require that I venture into the political and legal dimensions of what many see as an unexpected development. Of course, I am also wary of the fact that dwelling much longer on the legal and political arguments which have been triggered by the learned Justice's verdict on the matter, can only exacerbate the polarisation of our State and further deepen the attendant controversy.

Let me restrict my worries over this matter to the interests of our race, the Igbo race. There is palpable apprehension within the ranks of discerning Igbos, and even non partisan individuals like myself are not a little worried that the strong case being made for a Nigerian President of southeast birth by Umahi within the ruling Party is the real target and major reason for his travails. In the All Progressives Congress, APC, Umahi's candidacy is gaining wider acceptability as an alternative to a Bola Tinubu option.

Personally, I do not believe that "Nigerians" through their self-appointed kingmakers are ready to be ruled by an Igbo person. Even if that would end their national woes, they don't seem as ready yet to part with their woes, I believe. However, I have an open mind about it. If I am proven wrong at the end of the day, it would not hurt at all.

It may have become suddenly necessary to "fight dirty" But just how much dirtier it could be fought without the employment of Igbo fifth columnists within the ranks of the opposition to Umahi's government is what those behind this fight appears not willing to prove for themselves.

But they ain't seen nothing yet, Umahi is a ruthless fighter, too. trust me.

Ideally, airlines are not meant to delay or cancel flights without tendering apologies to their customers, just that we overlook too many things in Nigeria.

From the look of things, the Emir's cousin is a pilot and he knows the rules which he can use against Allen Onyema's Air peace and get the airline sanctioned, so the ideal thing would be for Air peace management to tender the apology to not only the Emir but everyone affected.

Is it that you are brain dead or that you can’t read? Either way, you really need help. In case you didn’t read the story. Emir called Air Peace to delay their flight by one hour so that he can meet up at the expense of other passengers who boarded the airline too. The management of Air Peace declined that request citing that other passengers have schedules to meet up with. Then the stupid protocol sh!t started ranting like a mad man.

I was dumbfounded with my discoveries last 3weeks that I was in Mali. Hundreds of Nigerians girls were being trafficked to Mali; some were willingly and others were by force. I am still to come to terms with what I saw. One lady was taking a 25 year old girl to Dakar and when we stopped at Burkina Faso, the girl disappeared and we didn’t see her again. Her mistress raised alarm but she was no where to be found and the Mistress had to disembark from the journey and stayed in Burkina Faso to search for her.
Mali is a gateway to many African countries; most of the girls were headed to Dakar,Senegal. I interacted with one of those girls, a very beautiful young girl, she’s from Edo state and was headed to Dakar with her mistress. I felt like taking her away from the woman and returning her back to Nigeria. While returning from Mali, I met another girl aged 14 from Osun state who has been in Mali for about a year doing commercial sex work. She told me that she doesn’t want to continue and that she went to Nigerian Embassy and reported her madam and she was arrested and they compelled her madam to give her transportation fare back to Nigeria. She said that most Nigerian girls taken to these countries have obligations to balance their madams between 1million to 1.5million. It was a very sad moment for me witnessing all this things.
Government has failed the people and the people are failing themselves. It’s so depressing

PressMyButton:
He failed the moment Ipobs started supporting him. If you want to succeed, run away from those bunch of failure.

You’re a perfect replica of failure and do you know that it takes a failure to recognize a failure. #Muppet

Can one delve into pharmaceuticals without any experience ?
post=109738330]You should check which you want and what it will yield.. if you invest the money what will it yield? If you travel out, what will it yield? You have to weigh your options well.

2.5m isn't sufficient to travel and run other expenses. But 2.5m is good to delve into the pharma (pharmaceuticals) ... That's depending on your education, area of expertise and experiences

If you travel out

I have interest in Pharmaceutical too but I don’t have much information on that. If you can guide drop your contact and I will call you. There’s high prospect for the biz in my location Thanks

pansophist:
How old are you? And by travelling ? What destinations are you looking at ? I would suggest business if you're in your late 20's above, but travel if you're young like early 20's.

In my early 30s and I am considering European Countries

uthlaw:
Bros just leave this country... Some story motivational speaker go soon de tell u story how Nigeria is better,no listen ooo...just japa!

Thank you

Originalsly:
Where do you plan traveling to?.... how much will be left of your N2.5m when you get to your destination? ... how long will that maintain you? ... and is a job waiting for you there?... if not how long should it take you to get one? ...or is it when you get abroad you will find your way?

I am looking at Poland or other European countries and I hope to get a job when I get there.

Don't travel but run out of Nigeria.

A word is enough for the wise

Thank you so much

Good evening fam! I have about 2.5m and I don’t know whether to use the money to travel abroad or do business here in Nigeria? But what business can one do with 2.5m and grow it over time?
Please I need a sincere advice.
Thank you!!!
