Rising from their strategic meeting over the weekend, the leadership of Nigeria’s most sophisticated political movement, The Mandate Movement (TMM), has reiterated their tested, long standing resolution to be a resource and think-tank team for good governance, articulation of developmental ideas and promotion of people centered initiatives.
The Apex Leadership of TMM reviewed the current political issues and socio-economic situation in the country and came up with different resolutions aimed at supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Movement commended the President of on the bold initiatives of his administration, some of which are:
(I) continuous engagement of the Leadership of the Nigerian Labour Unions towards finding a compromise to the minimum wage imbroglio.
(ii) waivers/relaxation of import duties and tariffs on some food items importation for six months to cushion the effects of food shortages and high prices.
(iii) the landmark Supreme Court’s ruling on the right of the Local Government tier of government to financial autonomy, an outcome of a suit instituted by the attorney-general of the federation and a judicial decision that is expected to crystallize and engender rapid development and impactful growth at the grassroots.
(iv) the proposed and bold initiative of creation of a new Ministry of Livestock Development, a move that the TMM Leaders believe will not only enhance lasting peace amongst farmers and herders in the country but also allow for a policy thrust on grazing and land grabbing matters which have resulted in internal disputes and displacements.
The TMM Leadership enjoined the government to continue in its efforts to encourage local food production as a way of boosting food security in the country.
The Movement praised Nigerians for their patriotism, commitment and perseverance, assuring that the current pains and hardships will ultimately become gains for the people.
