Endure subsidy removal hardship, SGF urges Nigerians

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, has urged Nigerians to continue to bear the hardship occasioned by the subsidy removal.

He assured Nigerians that the pain would soon come to an end, adding that there would also be an improvement in the standard of living.

Akume noted that the president, Bola Tinubu meant well for the country, assuring Nigerians that he won’t disappoint them.

He spoke when a delegation of the North Central People’s Forum led by Sardauna Plateau, Senator Jeremiah Useni visited him in Abuja on Monday.

Akume said, “This government will not disappoint Nigerians. The President means well but we can go wrong. When we go wrong, correct us.

“President Tinubu so far has taken bold measures which have impacted the national economy and sent positive signals to policymakers, local and international, that the government means business.

“I urge Nigerians to bear the pains of the removal of subsidy on petrol and its negative impact on the cost of living. I want to assure you that after the pain there will be a significant improvement in living standards generally.”
