Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state has told the Federal Government to review its fiscal and monetary policies as they are not yielding results in the areas of poverty alleviation and unemployment.
The governor made this call at the launch of the Nigeria Development Update in Abuja on Thursday, October 17.
“With all humility, please review your policies, they’re not working. Even the growing FAAC allocation is not enough because inflation is eating it up and the purchasing power of the people is dwindling, we are all living with these people and I can tell you we are at risk of being lynched because of your policies.
When the reforms started, the sub-nationals supported the President. But now, the macroeconomic policies causing inflation need to be reconsidered. There is hunger, people are suffering, and Nigerians are not benefitting from these reforms. What are you doing to reduce hunger? We must help the people cope,” he said.
