The Independent Civil Society Groups in Nigeria, CSGN, has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as ‘forward’ looking leader citing his ‘innovative’ programmes in the education sector.
The group gave the verdict on Monday while releasing the report on the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda and National Budget Strategies.
The president of the group Emmanuel Agabi said the administration has performed well in the education sector, citing initiative such as the Nigeria Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, and the three million Technical Talent programme, apart from showing prudence in the management and allocation of resources.
Through these programmes , Agabi said, the president has plugged loopholes, promote social inclusion, reduced poverty and supported disadvantaged groups across the country.
He cited the 2025 Budget as a further commitment by the administration to prudently manage the country’s resources, noting however that challenges in the areas of security and food production must be immediately addressed.
Agabi: “The 2025 budget reflects a commitment to prudent financial management and strategic allocation of resources.
These measures aim to promote social inclusion, reduce poverty, and support economic resilience among disadvantaged groups.
“The government should intensify efforts to stabilise the macroeconomic environment, enhance security, and implement targeted interventions to support food production and distribution.”
The civil society’s position on the state of the nation is coming as the Tinubu’s administration is marking two years in office.
While the government has scored itself high not a few Nigerians have criticised the government for alleged insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians which have suffered under the brunt of its policies.
The critics of the administration insist that it has brought untold hardship to the country since President bola Ahmed Tinubu came to office on may 29, 2023. They cited the removal of fuel subsidy, convergence of the exchange rate amongs others as being responsible for the current economic challenges that the country now faces.
The administration however insist that it’s laying a foundation for the country’s future prosperity.
