The youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, has rated President Bola Tinubu’s administration above average.
The Igbo group made this assessment as the current administration marks one year in office on May 29.
Additionally, the Igbo group urged the President not to hesitate in sacking any cabinet member who is not contributing significantly towards the realisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, in a statement, said President Tinubu’s government had been making conscious efforts towards restoring the economic fortunes of the country.
Okwu stated that Tinubu inherited a battered economy and noted that it would not take rocket science to fix the country.
He said, “As President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government marks one year in office, it is our considered view that he has demonstrated the capacity and the passion to lead this country to the path of progress.
“We are not unaware of the sufferings the masses are facing owing to some policies of the government; however, some of these policies were unavoidable, including the fuel subsidy, which was a landmine laid for the present government by the then Buhari administration.
“However, we have seen how the government is steadily trying to revive the dead economy. The total restoration will not happen overnight, but with the determination of the government, we are optimistic that things will soon improve.
“We also want to commend the present government for continuing with some of the projects initiated by the past administration, especially road projects, and initiating new ones. This is very critical to the development of the country.
“Our appeal to Nigerians is to fully cooperate with the government as Mr. President and his team navigate the country out of the inherited quagmire.
The youths, however, urged the President to quickly reshuffle his cabinet “by weeding off those whose actions are not aligning with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“There is no time to waste; we urge the President to assess the scorecard of his ministers and take firm decisions in the best interest of the country. All those who have not recorded tangible achievements should be sacked.”
While commending the government for improved security, Okwu urged the government to put more effort towards securing agrarian communities in order to save the populace from food inflation.
