I Now Live In 2-Bedroom Flat To Cut Costs – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has said that he is presently living in a two-bedroom flat as part of his strategies to reduce the cost of governance, Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said.

Besides, the president told the NLC leaders who recently met him that he had wanted to continue with his private plane and reduce the number of vehicles in his official entourage but was stopped by his security officials.

Comrade Ajaero disclosed these during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

GWG.ng reports that the NLC president and his colleague in the Trade Union Congress, TUC recently met with the president as part of efforts in settling the crisis arising from the crisis that followed the removal of fuel subsidy.

Speaking on the television programme, he said, “During our meeting with the president, we complained about the high cost of governance. We told him that when he appoints ministers, they will appoint SSAs. And the SSAs will also appoint SSAs. But the president said that the labour should look at it from the point of job creation. But we did not agree with that.

“He took his own case for example. He told us that if you come to his fleet of cars, that it was large and he made efforts to reduce it and he was told that it’s a security issue.

“He equally went further to say that he prefers to use his own private jet and they told him no, it’s a security issue, he must use the government jet. And he went further to say, even himself, that he’s using only a two-bedroom flat.

“That he’s trying as much as possible to tighten his belt and he will try as much as possible to talk to his people working with him. So, I don’t know what that means.”

GWG.ng reports that irrespective of his assertions to the unionists that President Tinubu’s cost of governance efforts have come under scathing criticisms following his nomination of 48 persons as ministers.
