Former Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has said that for the Muhmmadu Buhari-led government to end the current economic crisis, it must have a grip on Nigeria’s inflation, foreign exchange problem, fiscal deficit and debts control.
Okonjo Iweala said this while speaking on Aljazeera TV programme, The Stream.
“If you don’t pay attention to the fundamentals of having a stable and good exchange rate policy, inflation under control, manageable fiscal deficit and debts, there will continue to be trouble in the economy,” she said.
She also said that she remained optimistic that solutions to the country’s economic decline could still be found.
“I have contributed the best I could to the country. It is still the most interesting country in the world. It is better to leave those who are managing now to say what they would do.
“All I can say is that there are solutions. Nigeria is a vibrant country. I love it so much. I know it is going to come out of this one way or another,” she said.
