PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has stated that he is aware of the hardships that Nigerians are going through as a result of his government’s economic policies.
The Nigerian president has declared a stop to the payment of fuel subsidies, among other things.
While the move has resulted in an increase in the pump price of goods, Tinubu has assured Nigerians that he understands their struggles.
“Our economy is going through a tough patch and you are being hurt by it. The cost of fuel has gone up. Food and other prices have followed it. Households and businesses struggle,” he said in a national broadcast Monday evening.
“Things seem anxious and uncertain. I understand the hardship you face. I wish there were other ways. But there is not. If there were, I would have taken that route as I came here to help not hurt the people and nation that I love.”
