Tinubu Revives Awolowo's Governance Model for Nigeria
President Bola Tinubu's administration is implementing a governance model inspired by Chief Obafemi Awolowo, focusing on alleviating the burdens of education and health on Nigerian families. The National Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has enabled approximately 1.5 million students to access tertiary education without the need for collateral.
The government is also revitalizing primary healthcare centers and drug supply chains across Nigeria. With the removal of fuel subsidies, states are encouraged to invest in free, quality secondary education and healthcare, justifying increased allocations from the federal government.
Tinubu's government is also enhancing rural integration through infrastructure projects, such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Lagos-Maiduguri Super Highway, which aim to create jobs and connect markets. The administration asserts that the painful subsidy removal is now leading to productive investments in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, echoing Awolowo's vision for Nigeria.
