In the light of the impending August 1 nationwide protest, Kogi East Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho has called for patience among the youth of the area.
Echocho asserted that the current economic challenges will soon pave the way for brighter days.
The senator’s statement comes amidst widespread frustration and calls for change due to escalating economic hardships.
In a statement he issued, Echocho acknowledged the difficulties faced by Nigerians but stressed the importance of trusting President Bola Tinubu’s vision and plans for national development.
Expressing optimism about the president’s capacity to fulfil his promises, he emphasised that the sacrifices currently being made are temporary and necessary for long-term improvement in the lives of citizens.
He urged youths to exercise patience and allow time for the president’s reforms to take effect.
Echocho listed several measures that the federal government has taken to address issues related to hunger and other pressing challenges. These include “food distribution to various states and local governments across Nigeria; the turnaround maintenance of federal government-owned refineries, set to commence before the end of this financial year; sales of crude oil to Dangote in naira to encourage production activities; distribution of fertilisers to farmers; and provision of capital support to market women.”
He said: “The government is prioritising the welfare of its citizens and working towards delivering tangible results that will enhance their lives.”
He underscored the critical need for unity and support during these challenging times, recognising that while his appeal is a positive step, more action is required to alleviate the widespread suffering among Nigerians.
He concluded by reiterating the need for collective unity and support as the nation navigates these turbulent times, emphasising that such solidarity is crucial to overcoming current challenges and building a better future for all Nigerians.
