Lamido noted that since assuming office as president in May 2023, Tinubu's administration has implemented several reforms, including the elimination of fuel subsidies and the adoption of a floating exchange rate for the naira, as reported by Vanguard.
Lamido pointed out that these actions have resulted in a threefold increase in petrol prices, a rise in living expenses, and a surge in inflation rates, reaching 33.6 percent in April 2024.
Lamido has criticized the current administration's performance, giving it a low rating.
He said:
“The government is doing almost everything wrong. There is money in Nigeria. If they do it [Lagos-Calabar coastal road], they can pay any minimum wage."
