Hon. Nathaniel expressed gratitude to former Governor Yahaya Bello for the location of Kogi State University at Kabba adding that he has done his part and should be commended rather than condemnation.
”Gov. Ododo is doing well in education sector. His regular and prompt payment of salaries remains commendable. We must commend the government for the swift rescue of students of CUSTECH.
Similarly, Hon. Nathaniel called for patience for the administration of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu said it may be rough now, says it will soon be better for the citizens and country in general.
He pointed out that Tinubu inherited a very shabby economy “Our economy was in bad shape when he assumed office because of the decision of the past leaders.”
The Subsidy removal, he noted was not in the budget when President Tinubu assumed office but assured that Nigeria under Tinubu, maybe tough now, but will be better in the nearest future.
