President Bola Tinubu has called on world leaders to prioritise debt forgiveness for Nigeria and other developing countries from creditors and multilateral financial institutions.

As it is today, Nigeria should not be spending money on elections, INEC should appoint politicians as governors, Presidents etc.
The money they spent on #EdoDecide2024 elections should be used to fix roads in Edo state.
48 hours and counting!! When would light be restored at Sanya? Or there is no fuel to move your engineers to the site where the faulty feeder is?!!! Yet we are paying ridicuolous bills based on band A but not getting the service!! @NigeriaGov@NERCNG
@Waspapping_ He is not any better!! Buhari is the genesis of the current mess. Not one single useful policy in 8 years!! Just went on a borrowing spree!!@MBuhari
@BashirAhmaad Same way those behind the Ojota 2012 protests did us dirty!!! Had they allowed the necessary changes be made, Nigeria would have been much better for it!! Instead tribalism would not let them!!
@BashirAhmaad From what number to what number? I hope the delegation is not more than 5 persons!! And we expect further reduction in governance!!! We cant be suffering under taxes while govt officials live lavishly @NigeriaGov@officialABAT
@EKEDP are you waiting for residents to mobilize you before you fix the faulty feeder? 48 hours and counting without light at Sanya!! When exactky can this problem be solved? @NigeriaGov@NERCNG
@EKEDP how long will it take to fix a bad feeder? 48 hours and counting with light at Sanya!! And you say we are on band A!! What manner of service is this?!!!
@Laurestar@PeterObi No wonder this govt is a failure when @officialABAT surrounds hinself with people like you! Is the 2023 elections the cause of the protest? Is Peter Obi the cause of the hunger in the land? Get your priorities straight!!!
""Fellow Nigerians, good morning. After the long awaited speech of PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU eventually came this morning, I'm sure most of you would be as stupefied as me. I must confess that I had little hope of Tinubu granting some concessions to the aggrieved Nigerians. As a man who has held iron grip on Lagos State in the last 25 years, it would be difficult for him to change a winning formula that has worked for him ever since. Also, what did we expect his advisers to be telling him when most of them have been his most fanatical cronies from Lagos who have learnt never to challenge the Master.
So it was mere wishful thinking on the part of incurable optimists like me to think he was going to have mercy on hapless and seemingly helpless Nigerians. Just for academic purposes, let's reel out what a sensitive leader, who craves the rightful position in posterity, would have done and said:
1. In view of the unprecedented suffering being experienced by Nigerians, we have decided to cut the cost of governance drastically... Some Ministries will be scrapped and some Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and all redundant personnel would be eased out...No official cars would be procured anytime soon.
2. The number of aircrafts on our Presidential fleet will be reduced to maximum two. I offer sincere apologies that we went ahead to invest in luxury items at this bad times. We shall place immediate embargo on subsequent purchases.
3. Subsidy of petroleum products will be reviewed thoroughly to ascertain the genuine costs and true billing of the controversial payments. While we hope to achieve this in maximum of three months, we shall revert to old prices within this period in order to reduce the heavy burden on our people. We shall also escalate work on our existing refineries without which we shall be throwing away loads of resources. Nothing has stalled our refineries other than reckless corruption. This we are blocking immediately.
4. Instead of tasking civil servants and politicians to handle students loans and vocational grants, we shall engage reputable accounting firms and banks to set up modalities for credits and activate the disbursements..." - CHIEF DELE MOMODU
