Former Minister of National Economic Planning, Dr. Shamsudeen Usman has said that the renewed economic partnership between Nigeria and the United States will bring tremendous economic growth to the nation.
Usman said this during a two-day intensive training programme organised for officials of the Lagos State Government.
He said “The commitment of the United States Government to help us fight corruption, recover some of the looted funds that have been looted and taken out of the country and insurgency, is tremendous.”
“The commitment is also towards greater legal cooperation in a number of areas like training of security personnel, especially provision of security intelligence information and even areas like oil theft. Really, it is a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of the strength of the United States to help the government.”
He also emphasised that the government’s service delivery must be effectively monitored at all times.
