An Elder statesman, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, has hit out at President Buhari over what he has called ‘Selfish Appointments’.
In an interview with Daily Trust, Ezeife said that Nigeria’s economy is in a dire situation and that a clear plan needs to be mapped to sort out the issue.
“We have to adopt long-term planning on where we want the country to be,” he said.
“I support the Central Bank of Nigeria as they want naira to float as having two prices for foreign currency.
“This will deter somebody who buys hard currency from the bank and comes out to sell on the black market.
“There is the need for an economic advisory council, they advise economic ministry and the presidency.
“We should avoid turancy at seminars, workshops and develop the country’s agric industry.”
“Buhari should get the right people and not his classmates from Katsina only.” he concluded.
