Subsidy Removal, Other Policies Yielding Positive Results -Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu says the Federal Government is receiving support and commendations from the international community over the removal of fuel subsidy and the foreign exchange regime policies, saying they are yielding positive results.
Tinubu stated this at a Gala/Award Night last Saturday, organised by the office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to recognise and honour outstanding civil servants to mark the 2023 Civil Service Week according to a statement released by the HOCSF yesterday.
Represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, Tinubu appreciated civil servants for their numerous contributions to the economic development of the country.
The President, who accepted the fact that the policies had in one way or the other affected the masses, said the government was working on measures to cushion the effects.
“We shall without delay cushion the pains being experienced by our people as a result of these measures through a number of well-targeted interventions aimed at giving adequate relief and succour to a great number of our long- suffering citizens, “ he said.
He, however, pledged to give more support to the civil service sector, being the custodian of public trust to consolidate on the gains of the ongoing reforms in the sector.
Earlier, in her opening remarks, the HOCSF, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, said every human being had an inherent desire to be appreciated or acknowledged for their efforts, and so hard-working civil servants deserved reward for their services to the nation.
