He said Nigerians expected much from the the present administration
to re-position the country for optimal growth.
” I urge Nigerians to be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari,
saying his strong political will would revive our nation’s economy for optimal
growth “he said.
He said that the currnt socio-economic and insecurity challenges faced by Nigerians was a direct
consequence of the mismanagement of the economy by the past administration.
He said that the massive looting of public funds under the watch
of the past administration was purely responsible for the prevailing
predicaments.
The lawmaker, who is representing Chanchaga federal constituency,
explained that the diversification of the country’s economy was showing good
results.
” Mr President is
aggressively formulating and implementing policies aimed at diversifying
Nigeria’s economy from oil to mining and agriculture.”
He called on Nigerians to continue to support and cooperate with
the administration with prayers for God’s intervention in the nation’s affairs.
