In the effort to find solutions to the current economic situation in the country, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has met with key stakeholders in the system.
On Sunday, President Tinubu met with prominent Nigerians in Aso Villa, Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, including Africa’s Richest Man, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Chairman of United Bank for Africa, UBA and Heirs Holdings, Chairman of BUA Group, Abdulsamad Rabiu, and Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra state, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
During the meeting, the president declared that his administration is working hard to put the country on the right economic path, but “we are not saying that we have all the answers.”
The president’s declaration comes on the verge of the two-day protest declared by the organized Labour to press home their demand on the government to do something about the hardship facing Nigerians.
The protest is billed for Tuesday and Wednesday this week, and it’s expected to preceed a wider nation-wide strike by the nation’s work force.
Tinubu said: “We are very concerned, from students to mothers and fathers, farmers, and traders, and realising that every one of us will have to fetch water from the same well.
“We’re looking for additional efforts that might help the downtrodden Nigerians and we will provide that hope and reassurance that economic recovery is on its way.
