Poor Nigerians are better off under Tinubu, increased allocations to states, LGs will secure 2027 victory – Presidency
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday, Fasua defended the Tinubu administration’s economic policies, arguing that the fight against poverty is rooted at the grassroots, which informed the President’s push for local government autonomy.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Economic Affairs, Tope Fasua, has said the living conditions of Nigeria’s poorest citizens are improving, attributing the development to increased federal allocations to states and local governments.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday, Fasua defended the Tinubu administration’s economic policies, arguing that the fight against poverty is rooted at the grassroots, which informed the President’s push for local government autonomy.
According to him, state governments now receive significantly more funds, ending the era when civil servants and pensioners were owed salaries and entitlements for months.
Fasua maintained that channeling more resources to states and local governments enables salary payments and directly impacts the lives of the most vulnerable Nigerians.
He added that effectively tackling poverty requires proper documentation of households, similar to China’s poverty eradication model, noting that such an exercise can only be implemented through state and local government structures.
The presidential aide further expressed confidence that the Tinubu administration’s economic policies and increased funding to subnational governments would boost the President’s chances of winning re-election in 2027.
“I can tell you honestly that for the very poor people in this country, the situation is getting better and perhaps better than it used to be,” Fasua said, insisting that Tinubu “is coming back in 2027 anyway.”
