According to a news that was published by the Punch paper online this morning, it was reported that Mr Phrank Shaibu, who happens to be the Special Assistant on Public Communications to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, in the last election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s plan to hand out N8,000 to 12 million households for six months as a brazen attempt to divert public funds.
While he was talking, Phrank Shaibu said that, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ought to have focused on putting the country’s money into the agricultural sector, and subsidizing production and working at attaining energy security that is the backbone of spurring desired economic growth from SMEs, if he was really serious about reviving the economy of Nigeria as he claimed.
Further talking, he added, “Agriculture makes up about 30 percent of the Nigeria’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product). He should have invested funds in the production aspect of agriculture and other issues affecting crop yields. The rural areas which are mostly agrarian are in the throes of insecurity. On Tinubu’s watch, over 200 people have so far been killed. However, he seems clueless about how to tackle this menace.”
