Kalu Aja, a financial analyst and educator, has stated that the country would be in a better position if President Bola Tinubu’s administration and the National Assembly had deployed CNG buses with the same urgency as they did the presidential jet.
Aja made this comment in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday.
“If the NASS and the presidency used the same speed and focus to deploy CNG buses as they did with the new Presidential Private Jet, we would all be in a better place,” he said.
DAILY POST reported that many Nigerians reacted with outrage after a new plane was purchased for President Tinubu at a time when the economy is experiencing a severe crisis.
The purchase came less than two weeks after thousands of Nigerians took to the streets across the country to protest rising hunger and the cost of living.
Recently, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited announced a new pump price, increasing the cost of PMS from N617 per liter to N897 per liter.
This development has also led to a consequential rise in transport fares and the price of goods.
