It is reassuring that the president acknowledged the need for a shift from the traditional agricultural practices of past generations.
TMV further noted that the policy is expected to improve food security and significantly contribute to poverty reduction.
In a similar vein, President Tinubu recognized the difficulties posed by the fuel subsidy removal but was quick to point out that “the policy has led to healthy competition, thereby making the commodity available as prices have started dropping.”
He explained that “this is the hallmark of a free market economy which government is encouraging.”
Moreover, he affirmed that “the policy has eliminated monopoly and corruption in the sector to the benefit of all Nigerians,” according to TMV.
The group also noted that the president used the media chat to address various concerns regarding the fuel subsidy removal.
Additionally, TMV stated that President Tinubu reassured the nation of a hopeful future and reiterated the government’s determination to address the challenges arising from the ongoing economic reforms.
