……Focus on Production and Productivity!
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to prioritize production and productivity to tackle Nigeria\’s economic woes.
Speaking at the Paul Aje Colloquium in Abuja, Obasanjo identified fuel subsidy removal, foreign exchange market harmonization, and the military coup in Niger as contributing factors to Nigeria\’s economic hardship.
He emphasized that there\’s no shortcut to economic progress and that leadership must demonstrate a change in characteristics, attributes, and attitude to gain the trust of investors.
Obasanjo\’s advice comes as Nigeria\’s economy faces significant challenges, including a surge in fuel prices and inflation, with the naira dropping to N1482.81 per dollar.
Will Tinubu heed Obasanjo\’s advice and steer Nigeria\’s economy towards recovery? Only time will tell!
