Stop financial indiscipline, Obi tells Tinubu’s govt
Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election, has called on President Bola Tinubu’s administration to stop what he called financial indiscipline and prioritise human and national development.
He made this call in a post on his official X handle on Monday.
Obi who expressed his worries, more specifically in the education sector, called for financial discipline and urged the federal government to prioritise the allocation of resources to critical areas.
He wrote, “As the giant of Africa which we are, I remain concerned about our fiscal indiscipline as a nation. Imagine the situation in our Education sector where the global average of Secondary School enrollment is above 80%, while in Nigeria it is 28%.”
