State governors yesterday expressed strong support for President Bola Tinubu's decision to end fuel subsidy payments in the country and other early policy
“We are a family occupying one house, and sleeping in different rooms. If we see it that way and push forward, we will get our people out of poverty. A determined mind is a fertile ground for delivering on results,’’ he said.“We are in a democracy and we have to nurture the democracy. It is a hard-earned system and not easy to manage. If anyone thinks it is easy, look at other nations who are over a hundred years in democracy.
The president also drew attention to the security problems in some states, admonishing the governors that all efforts should be put in place to tackle the security situation, without thinking it’s only for those facing it. Addressing correspondents after the meeting, he said the marketers were in the presidential villa to express solidarity with the president for his bold decision to end subsidy payment, adding that Tinubu’s action showed his determination and courage to remove the hemorrhage that had bedeviled the country for decades.
She said, “And we all collectively agree that we’re going to work at providing real mass transit buses that work, the ones that run on compressed natural gas and diesel interchangeably, and hopefully we’re going to start with about 50 to 100. And that is in the very, very short term. And these are locally produced. So you see that we’re also providing jobs, a lot more jobs, because we’re using local assembly plants; we are not importing this.
The notice of the meeting was conveyed in a letter addressed to the Senate and read by Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege who presided over proceedings yesterday.
