President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Nigerians to cut their clothes according to their sizes.
Speaking during his first presidential Media chat in Lagos on Monday, December 23, president Tinubu who urged citizens to live within their means emphasized that it was the only way for country to face the current economic challenges caused by the fuel subsidy removal.
He explained further; “It is part of the fear that is unnecessary. No matter how you cut it or slice it in segments, you still have to meet the bills. So, cut your cloth according to your size. It is what we have to manage.
“Management is the issue, and we have no choice but to pull the brakes. Otherwise, we were headed for slippery slopes.
That doesn’t affect me; it affects smuggling. Plus, you have expenditures that you don’t have revenue for.
“I don’t want to question people who have five limousines on the road. We should teach management with all our programmes. We have to manage our resources.
There is no way you will give out fuel and allow the entire neighbouring countries enjoy it like father Christmas.”
