- House Speaker praises President Tinubu for launching Consumer Credit Scheme, emphasizing commitment to improving Nigerians’ lives
- Speaker Abbas hails the scheme’s approval, noting its potential to enhance transparency, reduce corruption, and uplift economic activities
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the take-off of the first phase of the Consumer Credit Scheme in the country.
Speaker Abbas praised the president’s approval of the scheme, stating that it demonstrates his avowed readiness, commitment, and steadfastness to improving the lives of Nigerians through people-oriented policies and programs.
In a press release by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, in Abuja, the Speaker expressed joy that Nigerians who are willing to enhance their lives now have the lifeline of acquiring credit for goods and services to be repaid based on agreed terms.
The action, Speaker Abbas said, was in line with his October 1, 2023, message to Nigerians, in which he expressed hope that Nigeria would be great again under President Tinubu.
“This is a laudable initiative by the president, which, I believe, will promote transparency and reduce corruption and waste within the civil service eventually since workers will have the opportunity to get credit for goods and services.”
He said the president’s action “will put more food on the tables of Nigerians and bring everlasting smiles to many people’s faces.”
The Speaker described the president’s approval as a game-changer for many citizens and said Nigerians should expect more result-oriented and people-centred decisions from the Tinubu-led administration.
Speaker Abbas noted that the decision was in furtherance of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the current government and congratulated Nigerians for having a leader who has their interests at heart.
He urged citizens to seize the opportunity presented by “this unprecedented initiative of the president to boost economic activities in the country.”
