A survey by CMC Connect LLP, a Lagos-based public perception consulting and strategic communication firm, in conjunction with Analysts Data Services and Resources (ADSR), has revealed that “38% do not see the country moving forward under the current administration, while 62% do.”
News About Nigeria gathered that the survey involved 1,714 participants across the country’s six geopolitical zones who shared their opinions and views concerning the first 60 days of Tinubu’s administration.
The survey reveals “by and large, respondents are less satisfied with the first 60 days of the current administration, but they are more optimistic about the country moving forward under the current administration.”
It also showed that the participants indicated a strong satisfaction with the suspension of Godwin Emefiele as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Abdulrasheed Bawa as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and they applauded the allowance of both old and redesigned naira notes as legal tenders. The removal of subsidy and other questions generated mixed reactions.
Tweeps on X (formerly Twitter) have expressed their dissatisfaction regarding the report saying it doesn’t reflect the realities of Nigerians.
@JaypeeGeneral said that people preferred Buhari’s government and that the survey was carried out to give Tinubu relevance. He wrote “…some people are genuinely missing Buhari already. Bola Tinubu has been a disaster. He can’t even find old and abandoned bills to sign anymore for publicity.”
@JakesOlasupo stated that propaganda is not what Nigeria needs a the moment. According to him, “Tinubu and his handlers should know that they can’t use propaganda to govern. We saw how much propaganda was deployed during the Buhari administration – look at the state of the country now.”
@eric_tc24 stated that “the survey questions did should have been on the survey participants feel about the current price of items in the market, fuel price, minimum wage, increments in school fees, current exchange rate with the dollar, transport fare hike, companies folding or relocating due to cost of doing business in Nigeria, the multiple taxing, etc. He said questions on the removal of Emefiele as CBN governor and reinstatement of the old naira notes as a legal tender do not have direct impact on them.”
@ajaGunSEgun questioned the outcome of the survey. He wrote, “with Nigeria’s inflation rate at 22.79% and the economic growth forecast at 2.4%, how does the said report arrive at the said 62%?”
