ACF Demands Timelines from Government to Alleviate Hardship

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), through its Publicity Secretary, Prof. Tukur Mohammed-Baba, called on the Federal Government to recognize its failures in assessing the impact of economic reforms on the populace. During an interview with ARISE News, he emphasized the need for the government to admit its shortcomings and provide specific timelines for improving living conditions.

Mohammed-Baba criticized the government's justification of the reforms, stating it did not adequately address the hardships faced by Nigerians, such as rising costs of living, housing, transportation, and electricity. He questioned whether the administration had conducted proper due diligence before implementing these reforms.

The ACF urged the government to set measurable targets for its performance, suggesting that within three months, it could introduce measures to alleviate the suffering of citizens. Mohammed-Baba insisted that the government should be transparent about the challenges Nigerians face and demonstrate a commitment to addressing these issues.
