The Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs. Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, has urged Nigerians to exercise patience with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as it endeavors to address the nation’s challenges.
Ohanenye made this appeal during a charitable event in Awka, the capital of Anambra State, where she distributed relief supplies to assist the underprivileged. The items distributed included 5,000 bags of 10 kg rice, 300 gas cylinders, and 500 bags of 50 kg fertilizers, all aimed at alleviating the difficulties faced by vulnerable families in the area.
In her address, Ohanenye recognized the difficult circumstances many Nigerians are enduring but stressed that the government’s initiatives to enhance the situation will necessitate time.
She expressed her faith in Tinubu’s leadership and his dedication to improving the country.
“The BVN helps the government identify those who qualify for federal social security palliatives. The aid is meant for the poor, not the rich, who have cornered these resources over the years,” she added.
The Minister stated, “I plead with you to be patient with the president. He is doing everything to change the negative practices that have crippled the nation’s economy. Just give the president time; in the next few months, things will begin to improve.
“He needs time to clean up the mess left by previous administrations. Honestly, things were bad before President Tinubu took office, and he is working hard to bring happiness to Nigerians.”
She noted that the Tinubu administration has launched several social security programs aimed at uplifting the populace, particularly the impoverished.
Ohanenye encouraged individuals to submit their Bank Verification Numbers (BVN) so that the government can effectively plan and extend support to those in need.
“The BVN helps the government identify those who qualify for federal social security palliatives. The aid is meant for the poor, not the rich, who have cornered these resources over the years,” she added.
