NASU's Makolo Demands Transparency in Subsidy Funds

The Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), represented by President Comrade (Dr.) Hassan Makolo, has demanded accountability regarding the management of funds saved from petrol subsidy reforms and the use of borrowed funds. During the union's National Executive Council (NEC) meeting at the NAF Officers and Suites in Abuja, Makolo insisted that Nigerians should see measurable benefits from government policies.

He stressed that public resources should enhance workers' welfare and address pressing development challenges rather than burden ordinary citizens with economic reforms. Makolo criticized the government for not providing clear accounts of revenues from subsidy reforms and highlighted the impact of rising petrol prices on living costs.

He also urged the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to scrutinize the country's borrowing decisions, questioning the outcomes of such debts against the urgent needs of citizens, including education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
