The Senator representing Ebonyi Central Senatorial Zone at the Upper Chamber, Senator Kenneth Eze, has said the removal of fuel subsidy has made adequate funds available for the federal and state governments to function optimally.
Eze, who is the Senate Committee Chairman on Information stated this at his home town, Ohaigbo Amagu in Ezza South Local Government Area (LGA) of the state during his one-year constituency briefing.
The Senator said though the effects of the subsidy might be hard, its overall benefits would soon be acknowledged by the citizens of the country.
“The removal was an unavoidable measure to prevent the government from running out of resources.
“States in particular could not have seen funds to run its operations if the subsidy was not removed. I join other leaders in the country to urge the citizens to be patient”.
He explained that the economic problems Nigeria is facing currently did not begin with the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu but had built up for several years.
“Nigerians should know that the leaders feel their pains but with time, the policies of the present administration would manifest fully and things would be better.
“It takes a courageous and responsive government to take endearing economic policies which would not only correct the mistakes of the past but would secure the citizens’s future”.
He thanked the State Governor, Francis Ogbonnaya Nwifuru, for fostering unity and adhering to the people’s Charter of Needs manifesto, noting that the governor would always have his support and that of his constituents.
“We wouldn’t have gotten our share of his magnanimity if not for the unity he entrenched in the state, as he created an enabling environment that allows leaders serve their people effectively,”
The Chairman of the Association of Local Government Of Nigeria (ALGON) in the state, Chief Moses Ogbdo-Ali Nome commended the senator for his magnanimity towards his constituents, noting that such was the hallmark of effective representation.
“The people are yearning for good governance from their leaders and would always appreciate those who enhance their well-being, especially in these hard times,”.
