Redouble your efforts toward people-oriented policies – Group tells Tinubu

The Grassroots Engagement for Good Governance, GRENFGG, has urged President Bola Tinubu to redouble efforts toward people-oriented policies by focusing on welfare and innovative measures in alleviating poverty and economic hardships.

The Convener of the group, Mr Adeolu Iwakun, stated this in the group’s New Year message to Nigerians on Monday in Akure.

Iwakun said there was need for the president to make his policies and programmes workable by putting in place necessary mechanisms.

He charged the Tinubu-led Federal Government and the Lucky Aiyedatiwa-led Ondo State Government to implement monitoring schemes and ensure the effective execution of poverty alleviation programmes by ensuring they reached the grassroots level, where those programmes were most needed.

According to him, Aiyedatiwa’s leadership presented an opportunity to prioritise the welfare of Ondo State masses, more importantly those at the grassroots level.

“We implore you to adopt policies and schemes that will uplift and empower the people, with keen focus on the youth, agriculture and education sectors.

“Your commitment to carrying everybody along, including engaging the youth and those at the grassroots will be pivotal in fostering sustainable development in Ondo State.

“Furthermore, your invaluable support in realising the dream of the approved Ondo Seaport, particularly given your heritage in the riverine Ondo South, would significantly contribute to economic growth and job creation in Ondo State,” he said.
