The Federal Government has appealed to Nigerians to persevere and remain resilient amid the biting hardship engendered by the subsidy removal.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, made the appeal on Monday when a delegation of the North Central People’s Forum led by Sardauna Plateau, Senator Jeremiah Useni visited him in Abuja.
He assured Nigerians that the pain would soon become a thing of the past, adding that there would also be an improvement in the standard of living.
Akume state that president Bola Tinubu meant well for the country, assuring Nigerians that he won’t disappoint them.
He noted that Tinubu had taken bold steps that showed that he was serious about repositioning the country and making it work.
Akume said, “This government will not disappoint Nigerians. The President means well but we can go wrong. When we go wrong, correct us.
“President Tinubu so far has taken bold measures which have impacted the national economy and sent positive signals to policymakers, local and international, that the government means business.
“I urge Nigerians to bear the pains of the removal of subsidy on petrol and its negative impact on the cost of living. I want to assure you that after the pain there will be a significant improvement in living standards generally.”
