The Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has criticized the government for monetary policy.
The governor expressed disapproval over the policies while speaking at the launch Nigeria Development Update in Abuja.
He warns the government to apply measures that can help to alleviate the increasing hardship in the country.
He said, “When the reforms started, the sub-nationals supported the President. But now, the macroeconomic policies causing inflation need to be reconsidered. There is hunger, people are suffering, and Nigerians are not benefitting from these reforms.”
He questioned, “What are you doing to reduce hunger? We must help the people cope.”.
“The purchasing power of the people has drastically diminished. My brother Cardoso, these policies are not working. They need to be reviewed. Let’s not resort to blackmail.”
“What about power? The tariffs are so high that people cannot afford to pay. We are on the brink of being lynched. These policies are not working. We must review them.”
He highlighted the issue of petrol price hike since the ascension of President Tinubu. He urges the Federal Government to review its policies to reduce the hardship in Nigeria.
