President Bola Tinubu has criticized opposition figures for their past roles in Nigeria’s economic reforms, specifically targeting former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s position as chairman of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP).

Speaking at a Renewed Hope Agenda meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, Tinubu condemned the privatisation program initiated during the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, where Atiku had a significant role.

“The head Atiku was the chairman of the Privatisation Council of Nigeria at one time,” he remarked.

Tinubu raised questions about the management of critical industrial assets, such as the Ajaokuta Steel Company, and other steel projects.

“They privatized the steel industry in Delta, is it working today? They privatized Ajaokuta, is it working today? Go on the list. They privatized another man’s political party, that one says no. Their job is done,” he said.

ZINGTIE reports that Atiku Abubakar served as the Chairman of the National Council on Privatisation, the key policy-making body overseeing Nigeria’s privatization program under the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE).
