Tinubu’s policies are gradually yielding results, says the traditional leader

David Onuegwunwoke, Eze (Chief) of Akwakuma Autonomous Community in Owerri North Local Government Area of ​​Imo, says President Bola Tinubu’s policies are gradually yielding results.

Onuegwunwoke, who stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Owere on Friday, urged Nigerians to be patient.

Assessing the performance of the Tinubu administration after a year in office, the traditional leader argued that the current government has done particularly well in addressing insecurity.

He stressed that although the current government has made significant progress in addressing insecurity, there is still much work to be done.

“The President Tinubu-led administration has been largely successful in overcoming the problem of insecurity, particularly in Imo and other parts of the South-East of the country.

“A year ago, we found it difficult to navigate parts of the state due to frequent incidents of insecurity and stay-at-home orders enforced by non-state actors.

“Today the situation has improved significantly,” he said.

On the economy, Onuegwunwoke said the benefits of the federal government’s economic policies may take some time to materialize.

He called on Nigerians to be understanding and patient, while urging governments at all levels to minimize the suffering of Nigerians.

He believes this can be achieved through economically viable and people-oriented initiatives that will serve as palliative measures in the meantime.

He also called for strengthening the naira through local production rather than imports.

Eze expressed hope that local refineries would soon resume operations to bring down the prices of petroleum products and alleviate the sufferings of the masses.

He advised the Federal Government to complete negotiations on a new minimum wage with organized labor for the betterment of Nigerian workers.

“The current minimum wage does not support inflated market prices for goods and services and urgent action must be taken to alleviate workers’ suffering.

“However, we must be realistic and approach this issue with a human face, while ensuring that only implementable agreements are reached,” he said.

He thanked Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo for his proactive leadership initiatives and close collaboration with the Federal Government to ensure the benefits of democracy to the people. (NAN)
