Okechukwu urges Ribadu to ask Tinubu to revamp economic policies

Osita Okechukwu, an APC founding member and former director-general of Voice of Nigeria, urged National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu to ask President Bola Tinubu to revamp his economic policies. He said changes could improve living standards, stimulate production, create jobs and ease hardship for Nigerians. Okechukwu warned that economic insecurity and unemployment can weaken community trust and help criminal networks recruit vulnerable young people. He said lasting peace requires security operations to go hand in hand with restoring livelihoods and strengthening rural economies, and criticized a lack of transparency in contracts for the Coastal Highway.
