Former Nigerian Military Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has expressed concerns over the country’s economic hardship, stating that it is “getting out of control.”
Abubakar stated this while receiving the leadership of the Campaign for Democracy and Human Rights, led by Abdullahi Mohammed Jabi, who visited his uphill residence in Minna, Niger State, on Tuesday.
He noted that many Nigerians struggle to afford basic needs like food and transportation.
“Everybody is crying about this hardship and it seems to be getting out of control, people cannot afford three square meals.
“The issue of transportation, the hike in fuel, the hike in school fees for the children and the lack of funds in everybody’s pocket is making life difficult for everybody,” the elder statesman observed.
General Abdulsalami Abubakar was the Head of state who organized the 1998 /1999 transition and return Nigeria to full blown Civilian Democracy on May 29 1999
