In an Eid-ul-Adha message he issued through his media aide, Ibrahim Lawal, Dagogo described the current living standards as “grim” and expressed worry that all indicators point to further hardships for citizens.
He lamented that despite abundant natural resources, Nigerians have continued to suffer due to anti-people economic policies.
The former lawmaker noted that the purchasing power of Nigerians has drastically reduced, with the value of money remaining stagnant since 2015.
He emphasized that the government’s promises and policies have not positively impacted the majority of Nigerians, urging the government to take action and renew hope for the citizens.
