President Bola Tinubu has formed an Economic Advisory Committee composed of Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, Tony Elumelu, Innocent Chukwuma (Innoson), Abdul Rabiu (BUA), and others.
The Committee, consisting of 17 members from the government and private sector, aims to address the lingering food crisis and soaring inflation in the country, exacerbated by some economic policies.
Recall that President Tinubu met with the governors and some notable business figures in the country on Sunday, February 25, where he said “all potential strategies would be examined to address the socio-economic difficulties facing the nation.”
President Tinubu added that the federal government was ready to collaborate closely with all stakeholders to find solutions to the country’s current situation.
He said; ”let’s look at what we’re doing right and what we’re doing wrong to bring life back to the economy. Like I said, many times, the people of this country are only the people who we have to please.
“We are very much concerned from students to mothers and fathers, farmers, the traders and realising that everyone 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.
“We are not saying that we have all the answers. But we will not be blamed for not trying.
“We assure Nigerians that we will do our best to get our marshal plans in place and fashion out the best economic future for this country.”
