Tinubu’s policies are antipeople, Borno analyst

The Borno-born professor explained that the policies of Tinubu affected the entire north, and the elites were not happy with such development.

The professor maintained that most of the president’s appointees are either misfits, weak or in the wrong places. The elder statesman added that most of the appointments made by President Bola Tinubu are lopsided.

Prof Dikwa said even “the southern elite should be annoyed because Nigeria is more than Lagos”.

Shettima’s kinsman criticizes CBN cybersecurity levy

He then described the 0.5% cybersecurity levy on electronic transactions as a provocative move by the current administration through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). He called on the president to order the CBN to suspend the implementation of the new policy.

His comment reads:

“This is not the time, it’s wrong timing. Why are they provoking the people of this country? They have taken enough.”

The CBN introduced the cybersecurity levy as provided in the Cybercrime Act.
