May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

From TVC to NTA, we know the drill

I wonder why core NTA staff can't be promoted to Executive Director

How do appointments and hailings reverse APC destruction of the past decade

A wise person fact check things.
A wise person does not follow the thinking of the mob

The earlier you start having your own mind rather than listening to your fellow sore losers, the better for you.

Apc is here to stay.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

All the ones that have been promoted all this years and NTA still looks like a village viewing center. Who still watch NTA. No content.

To answer your question. very low class in rural areaa because it is free and easily accessible, those who monitor government policies with eager eyes and top upper class who want to know where FG money is going so as to position themselves.

NTA stations are still the most widely watched channels in Nigeria.

But you see the middle class, they spend their time on sports, entertainment and non-productive content.
