By Adegboyega Adeleye Political economist Pat Utomi has accused the APC-led government of abandoning its responsibilities while Nigerians pay out of pocket for basic services, from electricity and water to roads, healthcare and education.
In a post on his X handle on Monday, Utomi questioned what citizens receive in return for paying taxes when households and communities must fund services that government may provide. “The only thing this APC-led government is good at doing is making your life worse,” he wrote. Utomi said Nigerians buy generators to cope with unreliable electricity, sink boreholes for water and contribute money to repair roads. He added that waste disposal, drainage, streetlights and transformers had also become private financial responsibilities.
