In a recent statement to journalists in his hometown of Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Minister of Works, Chief David Umahi, emphasized that it would be unrealistic to expect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration to solve all inherited challenges within a mere nine months of taking office.
Umahi acknowledged that President Tinubu has been addressing the country's challenges through various policies, particularly those related to economic revitalization. He highlighted that the economic hardships facing the nation did not originate from President Tinubu's administration but had been brewing over time, with issues such as farmers and herders conflicts significantly impacting food production.
Having chaired the National Economic Council committee tasked with resolving such conflicts, Umahi explained that previous efforts had yielded positive outcomes in several states, particularly in the northern region. However, the pervasive nature of these challenges necessitates a sustained effort over time, beyond the initial nine-month period.
Umahi pointed out that while it may not be feasible to completely resolve these issues within a short timeframe, President Tinubu's administration is actively working on policies to address them. He cited the relative calm in the Southeast region, attributed to President Tinubu's interventions in resolving farmers and herders conflicts, as evidence of progress.
Umahi urged against joining protests against economic hardship, emphasizing the need to recognize the efforts being made to address underlying issues. He commended President Tinubu for directing cement manufacturers to revert to previous prices, highlighting his compassion and concern for the well-being of Nigerians.
Additionally, Umahi praised his successor, Governor Francis Nwifuru, for proactive measures to revive the Nigeria Cement (NIGERCEM) Company in Nkalagu, stressing the importance of revitalizing dormant industries for economic growth and job creation.
