Aareonakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams, has applauded the various reform initiatives of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying the president has started on a right footing.
Aare Adams, in a statement he personally signed and made available to the media by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, said the new move by Tinubu has shown that the president is in charge of the policy direction of his administration. The Yoruba generalissimo noted also that the appointment of the service chiefs had reflected the desire of a president that is in tune with the importance of federal character and one that is ready to accommodate all the six- geo political zones in the service of the nation.
He stated that the newly signed electricity reform bill and students educational loans were noble initiatives that would guarantee effective power generation, supply and distribution and also engender growth across all sectors in the states.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has started on a right footing and Nigerians are watching with great expectations.
“Leadership is all about service to the people and the president has shown determination with the various reform initiatives he had embarked on since May 29 when he assumed the mantle of leadership as the President and Commander- in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.
Setting a realistic agenda on the Nigerian economy and education sector, Iba Adams stated also that within the first six months of the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu administration, Nigerians that are unemployed can assess a monthly stipend of N15, 000 each for a recorded 10 million Nigerians that would take care of their upkeep and house rents before they secure employment.
He disclosed that children could also be taken care of through social security initiative as it is done in the developed world.
“The stipend should be on 65/35 ratio. The 65 per cent will go to unemployed Nigerians and 35 per cent for children between the ages of one and 18, and the aged ones specifically the senior citizens who have reached the age of 65 years and above and are not on pension, as well as physically-challenged Nigerians.
“The money can be generated through special tax from multinational companies and other investors in Nigeria and a Special Revenue Generation Committee should be established to work on the modalities. This will reduce crime in the country and also reduce the spate of insecurity.
