The presidency has reaffirmed President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to understanding and responding to the needs of Nigerians.
According to Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, the President actively acknowledges the challenges faced by Nigerians. Onanuga highlighted Tinubu’s efforts to address these issues, citing the decision to offer a 50 percent transport fare rebate during the Yuletide season as a demonstration of Tinubu’s dedication to easing the hardships faced by Nigerians.
In a post shared on X, Onanuga emphasized Tinubu’s resolve to take necessary actions to prevent Nigerians from enduring unnecessary hardships.
He wrote: “President Tinubu listens to Nigerians and feels the pulse of the people all the time. He reads newspapers daily, reads the columnists, and is able to distill public opinion.
“In many of his engagements, he has always acknowledged the temporary problems people are going through and is always receptive to ideas about ameliorating the situation and giving succour to the people.
“That was the reason behind his decision that the Federal Government bear 50 percent of the transport costs for those going home, by road, for the Yuletide.
“Besides, President Tinubu is naturally a man of compassion. He will do anything to ensure that our people do not suffer.”
