Rev. Fr. Fidelis Eze from the Abakiliki Diocese has urgently called on President Bola Tinubu to take decisive steps to avert Nigeria’s potential collapse under his administration. This plea was made during a Holy Mass Service at the Government House Chapel in Abakaliki, where he emphasized the need for the President’s “renewed hope agenda” to effectively benefit the citizens.
Eze highlighted the severe economic hardships Nigerians are facing, exacerbated by the removal of fuel subsidies, which has significantly raised the prices of essential commodities. Many are struggling to survive, with some reportedly dying from hunger due to the soaring cost of living. The recent increase in fuel prices has deepened these challenges, raising concerns about the contradiction with President Tinubu’s campaign promises.
He urged the President to collaborate with state governors and other stakeholders to fulfill his agenda and provide relief to the populace, encouraging congregants to extend generosity to those in need.
Key Concerns:
- Economic Hardship: Rising costs of essential goods and fuel
- Insecurity Challenges: Threats to national stability
- Renewed Hope Agenda: The promise to improve citizens’ lives
Recommended Actions:
- Collaborate with state governors and stakeholders to address economic issues
- Implement policies to reduce inflation and protect vulnerable populations
- Fulfill campaign promises to enhance the quality of life for citizens
By tackling these pressing issues, President Tinubu can help stabilize Nigeria’s economy and improve the lives of its citizens.
