With the New Year unfolding, the people of Ondo State expressed concern on Wednesday about what shape 2025 will take, considering the hardships faced in the past 2024.
According to some of the residents of the state, the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu hurt their socio-economic well-being.
The economic atmosphere of the country took a sharp downturn in 2024, with inflation surging and the cost of living soaring, leaving many grappling with financial challenges.
Most impacted by the inflation were food items, transportation, and healthcare, among others, as some Nigerians could hardly afford them with out-of-pocket payments.
While harping on policies with a human face, a trader at Odopetu market in Akure, the state capital, Gift Adeniyi, stated: “We understand that changes are necessary, but they should be done with a human face.
“We are suffering, and any new policies should consider the realities we face daily, particularly us who survive on daily income.”
Another resident of the state, Lekan Adubiaro, who is a civil servant, lamented that urgent measures must be taken against the rising costs of living in the country.
“Hope is fading, and without tangible support, many will lose faith in the government. I can’t lie; there is hunger in the land, and many are at the moment in a state of confusion,” he said.
However, Tinubu had assured Nigerians that the policies will, in the year 2025, begin to yield the desired results.

Biden urges Netanyahu to accommodate legitimate concerns of Palestinians
The outgoing U.S. President, Joe Biden, on Thursday urged the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to find a way to address the legitimate concerns of Palestinians for the long-term sustainability of Israel.
Biden has faced criticism from multiple human rights advocates for his military and diplomatic support for Israel during its military assault on Gaza, which has claimed the lives of Palestinians.
He has at times been critical of Netanyahu but has maintained firm support for Washington’s ally.
Washington announced on Thursday that it expected a ceasefire deal between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas to take effect on Sunday.
DAILY POST reports that the bloodshed in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict was triggered on October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, killing at least 1,200 people and taking about 250 hostages.
According to Gaza’s local health ministry, Israel’s subsequent military assault on Gaza has killed no fewer than 46,000 Palestinians, while displacing nearly its entire population and causing a hunger crisis.
The United States has for decades supported a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, proposing the creation of a state for Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza, alongside Israel.
Netanyahu has stated that Israel must maintain security control over all land west of the Jordan River, a stance that would preclude a sovereign Palestinian state.
The International Court of Justice has stated that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories and its settlements are illegal.
