Sen. Solomon Adeola (APC-Ogun West), the Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriations, on Monday, declared that Nigeria’s economy remained on a steady growth.
Adeola spoke in Ipokia town, Ipokia Local Government Area of the state during the 2nd Edition of Mega Empowerment/Town Hall Meeting and Thank You Tour of Ogun West senatorial district.
The senator explained that the nation’s affairs, particularly the economy was no longer in the hands of the cabal.
Adeola said that various reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu , have made Nigeria to be on the path of economic recovery.
He, however, defended the tax reform policy of the incumbent administration in Nigeria, saying “it is to salvage Nigeria’s economy from the members of the cabal”.
Adeola added that the tax reform policy supported by him and the majority of members of the National Assembly, had brought holistic change and liberation to the country’s economy.
“I’m happy that we have an economy now that is no more in the hands of selected few anymore, or guided by cabals.
“Tinubu’s tax reform policy is for the best of Nigeria. Having spent more than 10 years in the Senate and as a member of different committees, I can tell you that I know more about how things operate.
“These reforms are for the good people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; now we can say that we have an economy that is not guided by a selected few,” he said.
On the empowerment programme, he explained that the objective was to give back to his constituents as a form of gratitude for their belief in his capacity to represent them at the National Assembly.
He assured them of more dividends of democracy.
Adeola said he would continue to offer qualitative representation and facilitate more developmental projects to Ogun West.
He, however, lauded Gov. Dapo Abiodun for making the state more attractive to investors and industrialists, particularly with the construction of the Agro-cargo airport, the establishment a dry port in Abeokuta and many more.
