President Bola Tinubu has criticized opposition figures over their past roles in Nigeria’s economic reforms, particularly targeting former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s tenure as chairman of the National Council on Privatisation, NCP.
Speaking at a Renewed Hope Agenda meeting at the
Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, Tinubu criticized the privatisation
programme undertaken by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, in which Atiku
played a key role
“The head Atiku was the chairman of the Privatisation
Council of Nigeria at one time,” he observed.
Tinubu questioned the handling of key industrial assets such
as the Ajaokuta Steel Company and other steel projects.
“They privatized the steel industry in Delta, is it working
today? They privatized Ajaokuta, is it working today? Go on the list. They
privatized another man’s political party, that one says no. Their job is done.”
Recall that Atiku served as Chairman of the National Council
on Privatisation, the policy-making body overseeing Nigeria’s privatization
program under the Bureau of Public Enterprises, BPE.
