A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has claimed that
the middle class no longer exits under President Bola Tinubu’s government.
Falana also questioned Tinubu’s economic reforms, warning
that his “harsh neoliberal policies” have only seen a hike in poverty.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday,
the human rights lawyer also claimed that Tinubu has handed Nigeria’s resources
to a few people.
According to Falana, this has led to income inequality in
the country.
He said: “You cannot be addressing income inequality in a
country while handing over the nation’s resources to a few people in the name
of privatisation.
“Most Nigerians cannot afford three square meals a day.
“The middle class has been wiped out by the neoliberal
policies of the government.
Falana has now warned that “it is in the interest of the
government to review its policies as soon as possible.”

Middle class was actually wiped out since 1986 October, when SAP (Structural Adjustments Program) was introduced in Nigeria, stop misleading innocent Nigerians, you were also one of the people who tried to resist the program back then because of what it will do to the middle class, but that aside, the global economic system is volatile and dynamic, it requires changes and adjustments, even in the western world (USA & Western Europe) today, middle class is being wiped out by the economic realities, it is not only in Nigeria, that is why you are seeing a lot of immigration adjustments in the western world countries,please educate yourself properly on how global economics work, stop deceiving Nigerians !
