Mr. President,

A government that owes contractors is not managing hardship — it is multiplying it.

You cannot talk about easing the suffering of citizens while withholding billions owed to businesses that are already working within the system.

Those unpaid funds are not just “contracts” — they are:
Salaries unpaid.
Jobs lost.
Loans defaulted.
Projects abandoned.

If these payments had been made, they would have acted like economic cushioning — circulating money, sustaining jobs, and reducing the pressure on millions of households.

Instead, the system is being starved from within.

Let’s be direct:

- Awarding contracts without payment capacity is reckless
- Delaying payments is economic sabotage
- Owing contractors weakens the very private sector needed to grow the economy

Subsidies alone cannot fix hardship if the same government is blocking cash flow in the real economy.

You don’t stimulate growth by making policies on one hand and suffocating businesses on the other.

If the goal is truly to reduce hardship, then the solution is immediate and practical:

Pay what is owed.

Because that money will not sit in accounts — it will move:
Into wages
Into markets
Into communities

And that is how economies breathe.

Mr. President, this is not politics.

It is basic economic responsibility.

Pay contractors — or the hardship will only get worse.

This person na coward. Is mr president on NL. You dont even have a name

You dey talk to president wey only sabi how to pay with rice?

Cry as hard as you might Tinubu isn't willing to move a muscle.

Calling me a coward won’t fix unpaid contractors.
Face the issue, not the person.
