Chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, Sunday, hailed the federal government for reversing itself on the 18 year minimum age to write West Africa School Certificate Examinations (WASCE) and the National Examinations Council, (NECO) examinations.
Ambassador Ajadi in a statement lauded the federal government for its prompt response to Nigerians’ demand for a reversal of the policy.
The NNPP chieftain stated that with the recent gesture, there is no doubt that the federal government deserves commendation.
“I commend the federal government for its decision to reverse self on the non participation of Under 18 students in WASCE and NECO examinations. This decision has portrayed the Tinubu’s administration as a listening one,” he said.
Ambassador Ajadi added: “The government is behaving typically as a democratic government by listening to the voice of the people.
“This decision should be commended by all well-meaning Nigerians. When a government does well, it deserves commendation. That is the hallmark of genuine opposition. We should not only focus on the negative attitude of government.
“I wish to call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his administration to also listen to the cry of Nigerians on the current high prices of petroleum products. The government should revert the current prices to the old one for Nigerians to survive.
“The current prices of petroleum products have made many Nigerians to go to coma. The rich and the poor can no longer breath. They are on life support machines as a result of the non availability and the high pump prices of Petroleum Products.
“The government should consider the plight of Nigerians and reduce the current price to old price. Government exists to ease the pains of the people and not to suffocates the people. President Tinubu should do something urgently, Nigerians are suffering and dying.”
