The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Wale Edun, has appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the President Bola Tinubu administration, stating that the president is not unaware of the current hardship Nigerians are facing.

Edun, who gave the assurance while speaking as a guest lecturer at the 70th anniversary lecture of the Loyola College Old Boys Association in Lagos, admitted that the last few years have been a very difficult one for many Nigerians and businesses in the country.

He announced that the OB3 Gas Pipeline and the $2.8b Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano Gas Pipeline Project, which are part of economic interventions to rejig the economy, would be completed in August and first quarter of next year respectively. In his remarks, Chairman of the event, Joe Keshi, urged the Federal Government to do away with palliatives, adding that it has never worked and will not alleviate poverty.

“If you must deploy resources to support the most vulnerable, let’s try cash transfer, provided we have the reliable register to work with. Under Dr Akinwumi Adesina as Minister of Agriculture, farmers in the remotest part of the country had access to fertilisers,” he added.
