Tinubu’s decision to intervene underscores his commitment to responsive governance and his willingness to reconsider policies enacted prior to his administration.

“If you look at it, the law predates the Tinubu administration. It was enacted in 2015 and signed by Goodluck Jonathan. It is only being implemented now,” the source explained.
