Tell Tinubu to rejig economic policies - Okechukwu urges NSA Ribadu

Former Voice of Nigeria Director General, Osita Okechukwu, has urged the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, to urge President Bola Tinubu to restructure his economic policies. Okechukwu believes that doing so would enhance living standards, spur production, boost employment, and mitigate the suffering of Nigerians. In a statement, Okechukwu stated that Ribadu, being a trusted presidential adviser, should appeal to Tinubu to modify his economic programs to enhance the well-being of ordinary Nigerians.

Okechukwu warned that economic insecurity, widespread hardship, and unemployment can erode community trust, creating an environment that criminal networks exploit to recruit young individuals. He emphasized that revitalizing livelihoods, bolstering rural economies, and generating productive opportunities for young people must coincide with security measures if Nigeria is to attain enduring peace.

Okechukwu stressed that a comprehensive understanding of national security should guide the federal government's economic and political decisions to attain sustainable peace in Nigeria. He pointed out that the lack of transparency in contract award processes is a hindrance to President Tinubu's intentions to complete the Coastal Highway.
