A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Olumuyiwa Adu, has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reduce the cost of governance by trimming the number of political appointees and ministers. According to him, a lot of wastage goes into recurrent expenditure in Nigeria, and he urged President Tinubu to trim down the size of government appointees to save costs. Adu, who supported the removal of fuel subsidy, noted that the results would favour Nigerians through the provision of public infrastructure. He said the palliatives would cushion the effect of the subsidy removal, which was earlier introduced but suspended by the President after huge criticisms. He also called on Nigerians to support the administration of President Tinubu, as it will help grow and develop the economic base of the country with renewed hope for the people.
