Biting reality of Buhari’s government

Sir: My submission, so far, is that President Buhari’s economic policies have the potential to improve the living condition of the poor masses of the country.

It has become obvious to me that it is one thing to believe in a stringent economic concept and another thing to witness the hardship entailed in executing it. The ban on importation of certain food items, especially, rice and the exchange rate of the naira have created a harsh living situation.

People find themselves in the crazy circus of chasing an astronomical increase in price of daily food items with the ordeal of insufficient money in their hands.

One can always hope that the intention of the government is right.The crisis on passing the 2016 budget has come and gone. We are still waiting for the economic gains from its implementation.Change is never easy, but let it be true.
