Industry sources attributed the downward movement to greater competition among suppliers and improved product availability at the wholesale level.

Oloworaran said the increase was not a gift but the result of the government’s decision to meet its obligations to retired workers.

“He did not win a lottery. He was not given anything he had not already earned. What changed was simple. His country decided to keep its promise,” she added.

According to Oloworaran, the improvement is not limited to one person, as hundreds of thousands of pensioners across the country are benefiting from the reforms.

She credited the progress to President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to workers and vulnerable Nigerians, saying the administration has focused on policies that improve the welfare of retirees.

“Work has been made easy because we have a president that is passionate about the Nigerian people, passionate about vulnerable Nigerians, and doing everything in its power to make sure that it puts more money in the hands of the average Nigerian,” she said.

The PenCom Director-General added that the administration’s record on pension welfare over the past two years reflects the impact of the reforms.

She said, “Today, standing before you with 24 months of evidence, I can say that that case is no longer emerging. It is on the record. Because history is rarely defined by one decision. It is defined by a pattern of decisions.”

The journalist maintained that the proposed new states are proposals and proposals do not become law automatically. He added that there is a tedious process for a proposal to become a law, adding that it would require the approval of two-thirds of the house for it to scale through.

Okikiolu recalled that the last time states were created was in 1996, which was during the regime of the former military head of state, the late General Sani Abacha.

The House of Representatives Committee on Constitutional Review during plenary on Thursday, February 6, disclosed that it has received proposals for the creation of 31 new states in the country.

Benjamin Kalu, the deputy speaker of the chamber, during the plenary session, disclosed the development, while reading the letter of the committee which contained the proposed states.

Nigeria is expected to move from 36 states to 67 if the proposal for the state creation is approved.

However, the proposal has been condemned by Rotimi Sulyman, stating that it was not the next thing for Nigeria as he advocated for true federalism. Rotimi made the comment in an exclusive interview with legit.ng. He said:

“I don’t think the idea serves any productive purpose. To what end would the creation of more 31 states be, when the existing 36 states are mostly not viable and live on handouts from the federal government?

” I think if we are serious, we should be talking of true federalism to the letter, which would entail every part of the country harnessing its resources for economic and national developments.”

Nigerians react as new map emerged
However, Kayode’s tweet has started generating reactions from Nigerians. Below are some of their comments:

Monarch wrote: “The northern states which are all ridiculously large are barely touched. Just want to further breakup the south.”

Chudi Nduka commented: “What would be interesting is a presentation of a proposal to cut down political office holdings, a reduction of 109 senators to 36/37 senators (1 per state). 360 HORep to 109 HOR (3 per state).”

Xplorer reacted: “I think giving power to local government is better than creating another 36 States.”

Olamiposi commended the journalist: “The moment I saw those animals, I knew Kayode would do or say something to make them part of the video. Weldone Baba n’la.

Mr Abu Nana demanded for 776 states: “Personally I prefer 776 states.”
