Writing by Sediq Mutari
The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu, urging him to reject economic policies advocated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to avert a potential economic collapse.
In a statement released on Thursday by its National Chairman, Falalu Bello, the PRP cautioned that adherence to IMF-induced measures could lead to dire consequences for the nation’s economy.
The party criticized the government’s continued adoption of IMF-prescribed policies, attributing them to widespread poverty, unemployment, and inflation across the country.
Examples cited by the PRP include the removal of fuel subsidies, Naira devaluation, and interest rate hikes, all of which it contends have intensified the plight of Nigerians.
Furthermore, the PRP accused the government of prioritizing the interests of foreign creditors over the welfare of its citizens.
Expressing concern over the potential repercussions, the party warned that failure to reverse these policies could precipitate an economic meltdown with grave implications for the populace.
The PRP called on Tinubu to reassess his economic approach and embrace domestically formulated strategies that prioritize the needs of Nigerians over those advocated by the IMF and other external entities.
Highlighting the gravity of the situation, the statement underscored the need for swift action to address the escalating challenges facing the country.
In particular, the PRP criticized the government’s stance on the National Minimum Wage, labeling it as inadequate and insensitive in light of increasing costs of living and disparities in pay among different branches of government employees

“NNDC and its subsidiaries recorded extraordinary successes across all sectors including financial services, real estate, agriculture, manufacturing, oil and gas, and solid minerals.
“Institutions like the Bank of the North and our textile industries made the North an exporter of finished goods”, the statement said.
KACRAN said the collapse of NNDC has coincided with a demographic explosion, unprecedented insecurity, and the collapse of agriculture and industry in the North.
The group noted that Nigeria is projected to become the 3rd most populous country by 2030, with the majority in the North.
“Northern Nigeria is currently facing the gravest security challenges in its history.
“Innocent people are being killed and their means of livelihood destroyed,” KACRAN stated.
The Association, however, proposed 5-point roadmap to reverse the trend and this includes: reviving the textile industry in all 19 Northern States and FCT, establishing agricultural and commercial banks for soft loans, and harnessing solar energy to build industries.
KACRAN also called for immediate exploration of mineral resources and asked each state to contribute ₦2 billion monthly as seed funding to reclaim NNDC assets.
It said reviving NNDC will restore it as the economic engine of the North, and urged the Northern Governors Forum to adopt the plan immediately.
KACRAN said it is ready to work with the Northern Governors Forum to ensure the historic revival is achieved.
