The Vehicle Owners Association of Nigeria (VOAN) has lauded president, Bola Tinubu’s policy planned palliative, describing it as the best way to directly affect lives of Nigerians.
The umbrella body of the organized Vehicle Owners in Nigeria both in the public and private sector, in a statement made available to the media yesterday, advised Nigerians that the subsidy removal and palliative measures are possibly the only way out of the immediate economic situation in Nigeria.
The statement, which was jointly signed by Vincent Odo Okoko and Makinde Oluwole, the association Secretary General and President indicated that President Tinubu’s subsidy removal remains an open-door policy.
The numerous engagements include Nigerians through the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Trade Union Congress TUC and many other stakeholders without the usual bureaucratic hindrances and bottle-necks.
The statement, further read, “Your timely formation of the government with nominations of potential ministers whose lists are before the National Assembly.
“In specific terms, your promise to Nigerians to kick-start the rehabilitation of the moribund Nigeria Oil Refineries, your promise to name and possibly prosecute the saboteurs among the oil importers and your promise to activate the presidential committee on wage negotiation with the Labour bodies are welcome developments.”
