The Managing Director of C-Sagas Group of Companies, Architect Christian Nwali Applauds, has commended President Tinubu’s bold economic reforms, particularly the removal of fuel subsidy, describing it as a courageous and necessary step toward long-term economic stability in Nigeria.
The Ebonyi-born industrialist and philanthropist also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru for their impactful leadership at both the national and state levels.
Speaking with journalists in Abakaliki, C-Sagas noted that the economy of Nigeria will surely stabilise and urged Nigerians to keep faith with the government.
“Almost all major presidential candidates proposed removing the subsidy. President Tinubu simply dared to act,” Nwali noted. “While inflation rose initially, current indicators suggest that GDP is improving and inflation is easing.”
On the state front, Nwali praised Governor Nwifuru for restoring peace and unity in Ebonyi, laying a foundation for sustainable development across infrastructure, education, and healthcare sectors.
“You can’t achieve development in a chaotic environment. Governor Nwifuru has stabilised the state, and that alone is a remarkable achievement,” he remarked.
Clarifies Humanitarian Motivation Amid Political Speculation
Amid growing public interest in his extensive charitable work and speculation regarding a potential political bid, Nwali clarified that his philanthropy is rooted in a personal calling, not political ambition.
“There is nothing new we are doing now that we haven’t been doing before,” he said. “We’ve been building houses, donating vehicles, and supporting the underprivileged for over a decade. It didn’t just start because of politics.”
He recalled gifting ten vehicles during the 10th anniversary of his company, long before any political discussions arose, emphasising that his outreach to security personnel, gatekeepers, and others is driven purely by compassion.
When asked about his political future as 2027 approaches, Nwali was unequivocal:
“I’m not thinking about any election. It’s a serious decision, and one that depends on the will of the people and divine direction. For now, my focus remains on serving society.”
C-Sagas Foundation: Bridging Gaps in Governance
Nwali emphasised that his C-Sagas Charity Foundation is designed to complement, not compete with, government efforts, citing tangible impacts in reducing crime and poverty through community empowerment.
“Empowered people don’t turn to crime. We’re simply supporting the government in our small way,” he explained.
He revealed that several influential partners have joined forces with the foundation, signalling a growing public-private alliance aimed at lifting communities out of hardship.
