A businessman, Chief Michael Okafor-Nwofia has called on the federal government to act fast and save Nigerians from the current economic hardship.

Chief Nwofia who spoke to newsmen in Awka, regretted that most Nigerian families cannot eat three square meals a day currently and appealed to president Muhammadu Buhari to devise an economic strategy that is workable to salvage the ugly situation.

The business man who is a native of Iyiora Anam, Anambra West Local Government Area said that the current poverty and economic hardship in Nigeria has increased the rate of insecurity across the country as well as frustrations among the citizens.

He further pointed out that if nothing urgent is done to ameliorate the economic hardship, it will polarize the fragile security situation in the country as the 2023 general election is fast approaching.

The business mogul however commended president Muhammadu Buhari led federal government for the ongoing construction of the second Niger bridge, Enugu-Onitsha express road, among others, but made it clear that a lot still needs to be done.

On the current agitation in the SouthEast region, the Anambra business executive advised the All Progressives Congress led federal government to seek amicable ways of resolving the crisis for the greater good of everyone.
