Catholic priest urges Tinubu to address Nigeria’s economic hardship
Rev. Fr. Fidelis Eze, a priest from Abakiliki Diocese, has made an impassioned plea to President Bola Tinubu to take decisive action to prevent Nigeria’s collapse under his administration.
Eze’s call to action was made during a Holy Mass Service at Government House Chapel in Abakaliki, where he emphasized the need for the President’s “renewed hope agenda” to positively impact citizens.
Nigeria is facing severe economic hardship, exacerbated by the removal of fuel subsidies, which has led to a significant increase in essential commodity prices ¹. Many Nigerians are struggling to survive, with some dying from hunger due to the high cost of living. The recent fuel price hike has further worsened the situation, sparking concerns that it contradicts President Tinubu’s campaign promises.
Eze stressed that the President must work with state governors and other stakeholders to fulfill his agenda and bring relief to Nigerians. He also encouraged congregants to show generosity to those in need.
Key Concerns:
– Economic Hardship: Rising costs of essential commodities and fuel prices
– Insecurity Challenges: Threats to national stability and security
– Renewed Hope Agenda: President Tinubu’s promise to improve citizens’ lives
– President Tinubu should work with state governors and stakeholders to address economic hardship
– Implement policies to reduce inflation and protect vulnerable populations
– Fulfill campaign promises to improve citizens’ lives
By addressing these pressing issues, President Tinubu can help stabilize Nigeria’s economy and improve the lives of its citizens.
