Continuous absence of Ondo State at NEC meeting raises concern 

In a disconcerting trend, Ondo State finds itself absent from the 137th National Economic Council (NEC) meeting for the third consecutive time. The notable absence of Ondo State representation raises concerns about the potential harm this could inflict on the well-being of its citizens.

While Vice President Kashim Shettima presides over the crucial meeting at the Presidential Villa, the pressing agenda revolves around resolving economic challenges triggered by the removal of fuel subsidy and various other critical issues. However, the repeated exclusion of Ondo State from such discussions amplifies worries about the state’s interests being overlooked, leading to potential adverse effects on its people.

Stakeholders and residents of Ondo State express their apprehensions, emphasizing the urgency for inclusive representation to address and safeguard the specific economic concerns faced by the state. As discussions unfold at the NEC meeting, the absence of Ondo State from the deliberations becomes a focal point, raising questions about the equitable distribution of resources and attention to the challenges confronting the region.

As the nation grapples with economic intricacies, the omission of Ondo State’s representation for the third time underscores the need for a fair and inclusive approach to policymaking, ensuring that the concerns of every state, including Ondo, are given due consideration for the overall well-being of the nation.
