Prof. Usman Yusuf, a member of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), stated that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has taken Nigerians back into “multidimensional poverty.”
Yusuf, a former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), stated this during an interview with Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
According to him, Tinubu’s policies have impoverished Nigerians and pushed millions of children out of school because of the inability of their parents to pay their fees.
Yusuf mentioned that “the last year has been a year of nothing but deception, destitution, and hopelessness.
“From next week, they will start telling us their propaganda. What have they done to benefit ordinary people?
“In one year, they have brought millions of people back into multidimensional poverty; they have pushed millions more children out of school because their parents cannot pay their school fees.”
Yusuf added that rather than instilling optimism in Nigerians, the Tinubu administration has made them even more hopeless over the previous year.
