The President of Ogun Youth Advocate for Social Development (OGYASD), Comrade Oluseyi Alamu has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to address the issues of hunger and inflation in 2025.
Alamu disclosed this in the group’s new year message in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Wednesday.
Alamu insisted that Nigerians do not deserve another year of hardship and hunger, urging the president to make effort to intensify effort in addressing it.
The President also expressed concerns that many Nigerians are struggling to cope with the rising cost of living and food prices.
Alamu said “We believe that this call to action is timely, considering the country’s worsening food crisis and inflation rate, which has shrunk citizens’ incomes.
“We are not unaware that President Tinubu is trying his best but he needs to intensify his efforts this year. Nigerians do not deserve another year of hunger and hardship.
“We want you to also make efforts in reducing the prices of fuel. This will affect positively the rising cost of transportation and by extension reshape the economic situation in the land.
“The year 2024 has been a terrible year for Nigerians, we understand that the current administration is working assiduously to change the long-standing narrative, hence the removal of fuel subsidy, however, while Nigerians endure the pains that come with the process of reform, the President should provide an alternative means for Nigerians to survive these times.
“The fuel subsidy removal, understandably was a right decision made by the president which unfortunately has reck havoc on many families, individuals and organisations. It is not a news that this singular decision has sent many people to their early graves and forced many businesses into liquidation.
“Should we blame Mr President for this? No. But all we are asking is that the President should expedite economic as soon as possible. “
