  Things are getting better for very poor people in Nigeria — Tinubu’s aide President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Economic Affairs,  Tope Fasua , has stated that the living conditions are improving for Nigeria’s poorest population, as the Federal Government allocates more resources to states and local governments. Fasua made the remarks during an interview with Seun Okinbaloye on Channels Television on Sunday while defending the Tinubu administration’s handling of poverty and the economy. He said the fight against poverty is rooted at the local government level, which explains Tinubu’s push for local government autonomy. He also said state governments now have greater financial strength because of the increased funds available to them. According to him, the era when civil servants were owed salaries for six, 12 or even 18 months has ended, while pensioners are also receiving their payments more regularly.
