The Osun State House of Assembly under the leadership of Speaker Najeem Salaam, has suggested that President Muhammadu Buhari’s present economic strategy is not helping Nigerians, calling on the president to make a review.
The Assembly stated this as its Eid-el-Kabir massage in a statement issued by the Chairman, Osun House of Assembly Committee on Information, Mr. Olatubosun Oyintiloye said though President Buhari has designed an economic strategy that would eventually make Nigeria better, the Federal Government however, should
prudently monitor and review its economic strategy in such a way that it would quickly address the pains that Nigerians are going through.
The statement read, “It is public knowledge that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has designed an economic strategy that would eventually make Nigeria better than what it was.
“The legislature called on the Federal Government to meticulously monitor and review its economic strategy in such a way that it would quickly address the pains that Nigerians are going through. Such a strategy would bring succour to the lives of the citizenry.
“It is understandable that Nigerians are going through very hard times, owing to the poor economic situation and these have been causing a lot of pains.
“These pains cannot be unconnected with the depreciation in the value of the naira, the drop in oil prices, the scarcity of money in circulation and the corruption that had affected all the fabrics of our economy which the present government is now struggling to fight.
“On the other hand, it is understandable that the government led by President Buhari is working hard to turn things around. Therefore, while the citizenry should have more patience, tolerance, endurance, patriotic and greater willingness to make personal sacrifices for the good of all, the government must also strive towards rapidly overcoming economic and developmental challenges in the nation.”
