In the face of Nigeria’s economic hardship, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo has advised President Bola Tinubu to prioritize the welfare of Nigerians by implementing sustainable economic solutions, rather than declaring a state of emergency.
A chieftain of the organization, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, emphasized that addressing the root causes of the economic challenges requires decisive action and the involvement of accomplished economists.
Isiguzoro urged President Tinubu to dismantle his current economic team and replace them with experts such as Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, and Kalu Idika Kalu.
By seeking their expertise, the president can ensure that the country’s economic woes are tackled effectively, preventing further political and security ramifications.
The proposed economic solutions include debt relief, reduction of governance costs, temporary fuel subsidy restoration, and subsidized fertilizers for farmers.
These measures aim to alleviate the burdens on ordinary Nigerians and provide a more stable economic environment.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s call to President Tinubu highlights the urgency of addressing Nigeria’s economic hardship.
By prioritizing the welfare of the people and implementing sustainable economic solutions, the country can overcome its current challenges and pave the way for a brighter future.
