“We hear you loud, clear”, Osinbajo tells protesters

Ag President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has sent a message to all those protesting on the economic situation in Nigeria saying that he has heard their cry loud and clear.

Ag President said this in a press statement by his Senior Special Assistant-Media & Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande said  that he said this as he opened  Private Sector forum in Aso Rock on Monday.

We hear you loud and clear, those who are on the streets protesting the economic situation and even those who are not, but we feel the pain of economic hardship. We hear you loud and clear. You deserve a decent life and we are working night and day to make life easier .

The Ag. President also recalled the words of President Buhari, a few months ago when he said: “I know that uppermost in your minds today is the economic crisis, the recession for many individuals and families is real. For some it means not being able to pay school fees, for others it is not being able to afford the high cost of rice, millet, or of local or international travel. And for many of our young people the recession means joblessness, sometimes after graduating from university or polytechnic.

I know how difficult things are, and how rough business is. All my adult life I have always earned a salary, and I know what it is like when your salary simply is not enough. In every part of our nation people are making incredible sacrifices.”

He emphasised that the journey out of the damage caused by years of neglect and corruption is bound to be difficult but there is a glorious light at the end of the tunnel. Let us work together, steadfastly and patiently for the economic change that will come very soon.  He promised.
