…Your Challenge is at the local level, Not the National Level- Reno Reminds Protesters
Tableshaker and Social media influencer Reno Omokri has collated empirical achievements of the Tinubu’s Administration for potential protesters to see before joining a protest.
Newsconnect reports that Reno had opined that before you allow ‘them’ deceive you into thinking Nigeria’s situation is like Kenya’s and protests are the only answer, do consider the following:
1.The minimum wage has been raised to ₦70,000
2.Local Governments now have autonomy
3.Fuel importation reduced by 51.4%
4.The Federal Government facilitated a Nigerian carrier, Air Peace, to secure daily direct flights to London, which crashed ticket prices on that route
5.The Nigerian government facilitated with Meta to enable Nigerian content creators to monetise their content on Facebook beginning in June 2024
6.Ended passport scarcity and waiting time for passport application, renewal and collection shorted to less than two weeks
7.2023 Electricity Bill signed into Law to end federal monopoly in the power sector and empower states and the private sector to generate, distribute and transmit power.
8.The Federal Government has initiated and begun payment of the ₦50,000 Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme to nano businesses.
9.The Federal Government has initiated and begun payment of student loans.
10.Every state in Nigeria had been getting a minimum of 45% more than they were getting under Buhari. Nasarawa gets almost 100% more and Anambra receives 70% more, whereas their wage bill has not increased.
Meanwhile, if the Federal Government has done the above, what has your state government done with the extra 45% allocation they have been receiving? Your challenge is at the local level, not the national level.
