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.
