- Bugaje emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with experts and planning, criticizing Tinubu’s administration for lacking foresight
Usman Bugaje, a former member of the House of Representatives, has expressed dismay over the failure of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to address the ongoing challenges plaguing Nigeria.
During an interview on Channels Television, Bugaje highlighted the administration’s inability to solve the prevailing economic hardships.
“It is widely acknowledged that Bola Tinubu’s government lacks the necessary solutions to the country’s problems. His administration has faltered in tackling critical issues,” Bugaje remarked.
Bugaje emphasized the importance of surrounding oneself with experts and formulating comprehensive plans, especially considering significant policy decisions such as removing fuel subsidies. He criticized the lack of foresight and preparation for the repercussions of such decisions.
“It is essential to anticipate and mitigate the consequences of policy changes. However, ” Tinubu’s government proceeded without adequate preparation,” Bugaje stated.
Bugaje also criticized the president’s advisors for their lack of honesty, noting a prevalence of flattery and a shortage of constructive engagement.
“I observe a culture of flattery surrounding Tinubu. His advisors refrain from challenging him or presenting him with the harsh realities of the country’s situation. Instead, they offer excuses and lack viable solutions,” Bugaje lamented.
Bugaje’s remarks underscore the urgent need for effective governance and strategic planning to address Nigeria’s pressing challenges and foster sustainable development.
