Funny leaders in Nigeria. You left ASUU strike on and rushed to reduce jamb cost. Pls when they pass Jamb exam, where will they go? APC and their empty head thinkers https://t.co/joYYDb6bVf

This week, Buhari have increased the salary of police officers and reduced the cost of JAMB, NECO and SSCE exam fees.
Had it been this admin was started like this, alot would’ve been achieved.
This, will indeed help.
Now, we await the increasement of minimum wage.

If you have an issue with the reduction in JAMB and NECO form fees because you think its an election move, you can stick to the old amount pending when your candidate is elected

JAMB/NECO fees reduced, police salaries increased. All good, elections are around the corner. Like 2015, raising hopes before the elections; dashing them thereafter.
Is this any different ?
Nigeria shine your eye !#EveryoneMatters

Wow… This is good news, my siblings (twins ) are writing jamb next year and I’m already thinking of the cost of buying their jamb forms and the cost of financing their education. At least buying jamb form won’t be a problem now for the two of them https://t.co/OA5u91r2xo
