Governors, LG Chairmen Not Doing Enough To Cushion Economic Pain-APC National Chairman

State governors and local government chairmen are not doing enough to cushion economic pain and ease things for Nigerians despite receiving ‘fat’ allocations from the Federal Government, APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has submitted.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Professor Nentawe Yilwatda said this during the public presentation of ‘Vicious Red Circle’ a book on human trafficking in Abuja on Monday.

Nigerians should according to him begin to demand tangible development and people-oriented projects from the governors and the local government chairmen cognizant of the significant increase in their monthly allocations.

‘No governor in Nigeria collects less than three times, up to four times what they used to collect before now. None. Who knows that two years ago there was a sharing of about ₦400 billion per month—but today, the last sharing they did was ₦2.2 trillion.

So, they can do more for their people. No governor collects less than three times. None. They are now focusing on bigger projects. And to me, this is a turnaround that we need in the governors. I would say, talk to your governors. Talk to your local government chairmen. Let them do more’ he said.

The APC National Chairman also asserted that the President Bola Tinubu administration is taking right decisions in respect of its economic policies while expressing optimism that the current administration would drive the country toward economic recovery.

Reviewing the 198-page book, President of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Dr Ike Neliaku, examined the connection between corruption, manipulation, and exploitation, urging Nigerians to reject the ‘culture of silence’ that has made such evils to remain in existence.

In his speech, author of the ‘Vicious Red Circle’, Alex Oriaku noted that the book aims to expose the self-perpetuating cycle of exploitation and silence that fuels human trafficking.

‘It’s a circle that preys on the desperate, the vulnerable, the marginalized, and the unseen.

I wrote it to build a bridge of empathy between the abstract horror of a global crisis and the beating heart of a single, human story’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
