President Tinubu’s Broadcast is a Template For Good Governance Dialogue – DG MINILS 

The Sunday Address to the nation by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu “is a game- changing presidential narrative” that offers an opportunity for all inclusive pan- Nigerian Dialogue for good governance.

The Director General of Micheal Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies (MINILS),  Mr. Issa Aremu, made this observation in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital in North Central Nigeria.

Aremu said while periodic crises are defining features of nation building, “what is of relevance are the lessons learnt by  the government and the citizens” to move the nation forward at every crisis point.

According to him, the President has made it known in his address that he “heard  loud and clear, understand the pain and frustration that drive the  protests”, with  firm commitment  to addressing the concerns of our citizens.

Aremu therefore advised that “good statesmanship on the part of the listening President must be complimented with constructive citizenship through social dialogue for good governance.

Comrade Aremu urged both the government and citizens “not to miss another opportunity to forge an alliance for repositioning Nigeria for food security, mass job creation and poverty eradication.

The Director General noted that the list of government interventions as contained in the President’s address such as students loan scheme, improved minimum wage, CNG transport system and improved public revenue shows that there is already a movement towards good governance.

While condemning the loss of lives and violent attacks on public assets in some states, Aremu urged for “deepening of democratic process not its subversion,” adding that “giving the antics of some misguided youths calling for return of discredited military dictatorship, it was time for mass literacy campaign on the imperatives of democracy for good governance
