Election of Trustees to Lead Oil Subsidy Relief Program Is Important - NAK
The Northern Alliance Committee's elders have demanded that Bola Tinubu concentrate on releasing the plan to lessen the pain of eliminating the fuel subsidy, despite the fact that some of them have expressed support for the government's plans.
They simply asked the president to focus on the correct things and identify trustworthy leaders for the project so that it meets the necessities.
According to Major General Patrick Adamu Akpa, the removal of fuel subsidies has plunged Nigeria into chaos and poverty that affects everyone. The government should take all necessary steps to provide aid to the poor.
The Northern Alliance Committee's elders issued this plea at a time when the majority of Nigerians are lamenting the fact that hunger, particularly in rural regions where food prices have increased as a result of the elimination of fuel subsidies by the new government at the end of May, is killing people.
In his words, "as the president of the ECOWAS group, I am showing Nigeria's full support for the elected government of Niger and I am also expressing the position of our group that we will never fail to protect the system given to us by the law."
Additionally, ECOWAS has issued a warning that anyone responsible for the coup attempt will be held accountable for anything that happens to President Mohamed Bazoum, his family, or other government personnel.
Information indicates that some soldiers defending the Niger presidential residence in Yamai barricaded all of the doors to the palace early on Wednesday morning and detained President Bazoum.
Two days prior to President Mohamad Bazoum taking office in March 2021, Niger saw its most recent coup attempt.

He added that once these things are available, it will be simpler.
The Northern Alliance's director of planning and community awareness, Alhaji Ibrahim Marmara, stated that the students are currently in a challenging situation due to talk of eliminating the fuel subsidy, but Nigeria will continue if it is used wisely and what will be gained from eliminating the aid is realized. He urged the populace to have patience because if the reform is implemented, there will be limitations.
Engineer Saidu Jidda, the Northern Alliance's representative for the North East, stated that although his region has a very high cost of living, all stakeholders must take action to ensure that the state governments' use of the money they receive from the FAAC fund, which is distributed each month, is proper.
Sanusi Malam In order to alleviate the community's current plight, Abbas Sanusi of the North West region suggested that the government concentrate more on agriculture, education, and power.
Economists have emphasized the significance of the government reevaluating several areas that will strengthen the country's economy ever since the elimination of fuel subsidies in May, such as examining the minimum wage and offering social services. reach the nation's low-income citizens.
