Damaturu – The National Secretary of All Progressives Congress (APC) Alhaji Maimala Buni, has assured Nigerians that the nation’s economic challenges will soon be over.
He spoke in Damaturu in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday, saying that decisive steps in government’s fiscal measures were potent to get the country out of the economic recession.
He said the government was considering series of measures to create a vibrant economy that would provide robust employment opportunities, create wealth and improve the lives of the citizenry.
The Nigerian economy had been in recession for a long time before President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration came on board.
“Many scholars and experts saw this coming and predicted same but, for the large scale looting, the effects are now manifesting.
“Nigerians should appreciate the painstaking measures of the APC’s administration in pushing the economy to survive the turbulent economic storm,’’ Maimala said.
He also said the APC government had efficiently checked corruption in governance, saying corruption had been grossly degraded.
“We have now recorded increased transparency and accountability in government business in Nigeria which has earned the country confidence in governance.
“This regime has also improved revenue generation and remittance, especially in the non-oil sectors of the economy; this will no doubt contribute to national economic growth and development,’’ he said.
