Agony of Nigerians

SIR: Nigerians are agonising over the high price of commodities and social amenities like transport, medical bills and house rent.

Nigerians voted for change and voted for Buhari particularly to help ease their burden caused by so much corruption.

Corruption has eaten so deep into the fabric of the society, that the masses have been deprived of decent living.

We commend Buhari’s fight against corruption and we pray that he is able to bring it to a reasonable conclusion.

The ministers who should help at this stage in our economy to implement a viable economic plan are the Ministers of Trade and Industry; Minister of Budget and Planning; Minister of Finance; Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Power, Works and Housing; Minister of Health; Minister for Education; Minister of Transportation; Minister of Science and Technology, Minister of Solid Minerals; Minister for Niger Delta; Minister for Information and the Minister of State for Petroleum.

So also are the Directors-General of all the economically-focused institutions, starting with the Governor of the Central Bank.

We need a change for the best, and the ministers must trigger that change immediately. Nigerians are too bitter and are not fooled by their speeches. We want action now.

We pray that a policy of reduction in the price of petrol would be effected so that Nigerians can continue to trust this government.
