Work to end current hardship – NANS to Tinubu’s economic advisory committee

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has appealed to the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, the Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote and other members of the newly inaugurated National Economic Advisory Committee to work hard and end the current economic hardship in the country as fast as possible.

The students’ body noted that failure of the committee may spell doom for the country at this trying time.

NANS gave the advice in a statement by its National Senate President, Elvis Ekundina on Tuesday.

It will be recalled that President Bola Tinubu on Sunday announced the creation of an economic advisory committee, comprising the federal government, sub-nationals and captains of industries to find an urgent solution to the hardship in the country.

The committee which also includes the Chairman of United Bank for Africa, Tony Elumelu, was charged with the responsibility of stabilising the economy and ensuring the best economic future for Nigerians.

While congratulating Abiodun for making the appointment, NANS urged the committee to immediately get to work and prioritise public welfare.

The student body particularly charged Abiodun to approach this opportunity with the same dedication and passion that has defined his career.

“We wish to express our hope and expectation for the newly appointed members of the National Economic Advisory Committee. As these distinguished individuals assume their roles, we encourage them to prioritise the well-being of the people they serve.

“The significance of the National Economic Advisory Committee cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in shaping economic policies that impact the lives of every citizen. We implore the new members to approach their responsibilities with a deep sense of duty, accountability, and a commitment to the public interest.

“It is our sincere hope that the committee will engage in open and transparent dialogue, considering the diverse needs and perspectives of the population. We urge the members to work collaboratively and diligently to address the economic challenges facing our nation and to seek inclusive solutions that benefit all segments of society.

” As representatives of the student body, we stand firm in our belief that the committee’s decisions should reflect a genuine concern for the welfare and prosperity of our nation.

“We trust that the newly appointed members will rise to the occasion, fulfilling their roles with integrity, expertise, and a genuine commitment to serving the public.”
