They gave the advice at the popular Agodi Garden and Shoprite among.other recreational outfits on Tuesday to commemorate the New Year.
A Father, Mr Taiwo Olusola, said government and National Assembly should work together to ensure timely passage of the 2019 budget.
“It is not good for 2019 budget to be passed in September for example; it will surely affect the economy negatively.
“Government should also try to improve the budgetary allocation to all the sectors of the economy, especially the agriculture sector to create more jobs.
“Every sector of the economy should be improved at least, to the barest minimum. When these are done, people’s lives will improve and the economy better,” he said.
Also speaking, another Father, Mr Mustapha Aliyu urged government to improve the rate of electricity supply and infrastructure development.
“Virtually no business can thrive without adequate power supply; it will reduce the use of generators which causes a lot of environmental hazards.
“Government should also do its best to repair a lot of damaged roads in our society.
“We thank God at least, for being alive to celebrate the season, especially for the children, things shall be better,” he said.
Also, Mrs Oyindamola Ademola said government should enhance effort in prioritising peoples’ welfare.
“We want leaders who will love the people, treat us equally and desist from corruption, embezzlement and other evils
“I also urge fellow citizens to sit up and work harder in this New Year. We must acquire more knowledge and think of possible things to do to better our lives.
“We are very happy to see the new year and thank God who shows us mercy and grace.
” in spite of the financial issues we had last year, we went the extra mile to see that the children celebrated and have fun,” she said.
One of the Operators at the Shop Rite, children playground, Mr Adeshina Akinyele also called on government to create more jobs for youths to reduce the rate of social vices in the society.

“Government should give us the best this year.
“We mustput God first, I believe when we put God first, we will have peaceful election and society,” he said.
