The oil subsidy removal by the federal government has turned out to be a huge blessing that will soon assist the nation in overcoming infrastructure decay, alleviating poverty, and rejuvenating the economy.
The Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, Dr Khamis Olatunde Badmus, made the observation in his interview with journalists after the two rakat prayers of the Eid ul kabir at the Osogbo Eid ground.
Asiwaju Tunde-Badmus remarked that as a result of the oil subsidy removal, the thirty six states of the federation and the seven hundred and forty four local governments now receive tripple to five times of the allocation they were formally receiving.
He said many states are succeeding in clearing their debt obligations, a ðevelopment ,he added that will give the states the opportunity to focus on the development of their states and their people.
The muslim leader said even those in the “built industry” now earn more. In his words, “Bricklayers now earn between ten to fifteen thousand Naira per day.” This and many more ,he said, will help inject funds into the economy.
He stressed that the economic restructuring will soon make life better for all Nigerians.
Asiwaju Tunde Badmus implored the governors and the local government chairmen to use the opportunity offered by the availability of funds to fulfil all their electoral promises in the spirit of Eid ul Kabir which he said exemplifies Allah’s admonition to humanity never to joke with the fulfillment of the promises they made.
