July 17, 2023 4:56 am

In an era defined by global economic turmoil and the constant struggle against societal inequality, governments worldwide have a profound responsibility to shield their citizens from the biting impacts of these hardships. Unfortunately, in the case of Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, this commitment to public welfare appears to be subverted by misguided attempts at populist governance.
