Orji Kalu, senator representing Abia north, says President Bola Tinubu has done well in certain areas of the economy.
He added that the president needs to do more in other areas
because citizens are starving.
Speaking with Channels Television, Kalu said the country
needs fiscal policies that would lead to the production of more food.
“I’m sure the president has done well in some areas and he
also needs to improve in many other areas. I’m a very practical person, I fear
nobody and I support the truth,” he said.
“President Tinubu has
done so well in some areas, and in some other areas of feeding our people,
people are hungry so I cannot say.
“He has done well in economic policy, monetary policy. Very
good.
“But in fiscal policies we haven’t grown more food. I want
us to grow more food.”
The former governor said the proposed N62,000 minimum wage
would not address the ongoing inflation.
“I’m a proponent that local governments should be getting
their money fully,” he added.
“I also believe that N62,000 cannot do anything. N90,000…
and why I’m proposing N90,000 is very simple. We have not increased the minimum
wage in five years.
“I’m a practical person. The civil servants need good
treatment.”
