The leader of INRI Evangelical Church, Primate Ayodele, has recently offered his advice to President Bola Tinubu regarding the economic hardships facing Nigeria. In a statement released by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the prophet commended President Tinubu for his efforts in addressing the devaluation of the Naira. However, Primate Ayodele maintained that more economic crises are still on the horizon for Nigeria due to the government’s inadequate approach towards tackling economic hardship.
While acknowledging the improvements in the value of the Naira, Primate Ayodele emphasized that the cost of living will continue to rise, leading to further inflation unless the government takes decisive action to boost agriculture and domestic petroleum production and refining. He stressed the need for Nigeria to reduce its reliance on imported goods and focus on self-sufficiency in key sectors to strengthen the economy.
According to Primate Ayodele, there are underlying economic challenges that remain unaddressed, with issues such as increasing electricity tariffs and ongoing struggles with the power supply expected to persist. He urged the federal government to develop a new economic strategy to address these issues effectively, warning that superficial improvements will only mask deeper economic problems that could worsen over time if not properly tackled.
The prophet cautioned that unless the government takes decisive and effective action to address Nigeria’s economic challenges, the country will face even greater difficulties in the future. He highlighted the need for a comprehensive and sustainable approach to economic reform, emphasizing that short-term solutions and quick fixes would only exacerbate the existing problems and create new challenges in the long run.
Primate Ayodele also predicted that the economic hardships facing Nigeria would continue to impact various sectors, including banking, telecommunications, and the stock exchange. He called on President Tinubu to adopt a new approach to economic management, one that prioritizes long-term sustainability and growth over short-term gains. Failure to do so, he warned, could lead to further economic instability and hardships for the Nigerian people.
In conclusion, Primate Ayodele’s message to President Tinubu serves as a reminder of the urgent need for proactive and strategic economic policies to address the challenges facing Nigeria. As the country continues to grapple with economic hardships, it is essential for the government to prioritize sustainable development and self-sufficiency to ensure a stable and prosperous future for all Nigerians.
