Happy New Year, Mr. President.

The twin policy thrust of subsidy removal and abolition of dual exchange rate have remained topical as your government continues to forge ahead in the “Renewed Hope” mission.
Be that as it may, it behooves your government to constantly evaluate the effects of the policies on the citizens, especially the poor who are the most vulnerable.
Mr. President, you are the president who presides over the affairs of the ignorant, the angry, the greedy, the haters, and those with insular reasoning among other tendencies.
Mr. President, your government must think outside the box to bring more succor to the people, especially as it concerns food.
Economic pundits are even forecasting a gloomy 2024 as regards the cost of food.

Mr. President, if need be, let your government bend backwards in a holistic approach to prevent the catastrophes of hunger.

Mr. President, let me make it known to you that I had wanted to get involved in active politicking in the hope of helping the people, but realizing the satanic undercurrents inherent in it in this clime, I backed out and decided to play my role as a private citizen by venturing into agriculture with a view to helping in my own little way to sell produce not as a “Shylock” but as an entrepreneur with a human face.Mr. President, let me make it known to you that I had wanted to get involved in active politicking in the hope of helping the people, but realizing the satanic undercurrents inherent in it in this clime, I backed out and decided to play my role as private citizen by venturing into agriculture with a view to helping in my own little way to sell proceeds not as a “Shylock” but as entrepreneur with human face.

Rather, it is more a matter of taking advantage of the current situation.

Yet, major ingredients in feeds are locally sourced materials.

As for the kleptomaniacs who are leeches on the government, I cannot assess their situation.

Sentence:
Mr. President, you must evaluate the viral effects of the present economic hardship on the poor and the vulnerable who are in greatest demographic bracket; many mothers are compromising their marital vows in search of extra incomes; many are in a very bad shape health wise; young school girls are becoming sex slaves; and because nuclear families no longer hold, young boys are now on drugs and they have embraced all shades of criminality as a career.

Mr. President, I urge you to declare a state of emergency on the food crisis and go to any length to bring succor to the people. Your reforms, when they fully yield results, will be beneficial to all; but how many will have passed away when the prosperity fully debuts?

Mr. President, another area that requires urgent attention is the cost of purchasing medications for special health conditions, mostly diabetes and hypertension.

Mr. President, I am tempted to persuade your government to engage the pharmaceutical companies and their sundry distributors on how to provide succor regarding the cost of purchasing medication for these intractable medical situations among your citizens.

Mr. President, another very important issue is the distribution of palliatives from the federal government to the ordinary people.

Mr. President, it is not rocket science to identify those in the poverty bracket.

Mr. President, it may also help your government to revisit the process of the regional governments of the early independence years and how they successfully conceptualized and created farm settlements.

May I also bring to your attention, Mr. President, that the National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM) can become a micro China if properly rejuvenated?

Mr. President, I wish you a happy and prosperous new year and a successful tenure as the President who ushers in a new Nigeria that flows with milk and honey for all and sundry.
Sincerely Yours,
