Al Aminou Lo’s categorical rebuttal: “The studies are not even finished yet”

Prime Minister Al Aminou Lo defended investment-credit reductions in the 2026 supplementary finance bill, saying studies for the Grand Water Transfer project and work related to compensation are not yet complete.

Oseni also criticised Tinubu’s remarks on the removal of the petrol subsidy and his response to poverty and hunger as the president begins campaigning for re-election in 2027.
