Oby Ezekwesili blames Buhari govt for Nigeria’s recession
A former
Education minister, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, has blamed President Muhammadu Buhari
government for the recession that affected Nigeria within the past three years.
She said
this while responding to a question on the state of Nigeria in the past three
years on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, on Monday.
The
BringBackOurGirls campaigner, however, noted that Buhari would have averted the
recession from hitting Nigeria with good policies.
According to
Ezekwesili, “Nigeria is not better in the past three years. The reason is that
if you look at the simple indicator of how better Nigeria is, it will be your
income per capital that reduces drastically because of the dent to GDP that
resulted in the oil price collapsed.
“It is
because of the oil price that collapsed from $100billion to about $50 billion.
“There were
no right policies in place and the problem was that this Buhari led government
did not adjust using the right economic policies and approach to avert the
recession that hit Nigeria at that time.”
