President Muhammadu Buhari convenes an emergency economic conference to address the continuous decline in the Nigerian economy.

The conference is designed to confront the economic challenges and find solutions to the existing problems.

Unconfirmed information is coming from an anonymous top government official who shared it with a group of journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Punch reports.


It was only last week when Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, urged the president to convene an economic conference . He said: “I agree with those who say the economy is bad. It is obvious and it is so bad. I think the Presidency should call an emergency economic conference where experts will be enlightened.

We really need an emergency economic conference, bringing experts together to march the nation forward. I think the economy is not encouraging. Quite frankly, I think most economists will agree with this.”

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates!

Now where is that LRNZH

I hope they have the courage to invite Okonjo Iweala to lecture them.

This is another opportuniy for ubah, to tell nigerians how he will make $1 equal to #200 within a month overstatement mischief.

lets wait and see what the impact will be to the common nigerians after the submit.

This is long overdue. The administration is dilly dallying on the economy as if they are overwhelmed. The delay in appointing ministers was a blunder and assembling an Economic Team is a typical example. One of the end results of such sluggishness is the 2016 Budget of Shame.

It is sad that the Economy has not been placed on a State of Emergency by the president. He, either, does not understand the scale of the problem or he is undermining it.

Meanwhile, an invitation should be extended to Ifeanyi Ubah to join thee economic summit to suggest his ideas in advancing the economy. I hope he doesn't insist to be appointed Chief Consultant on Financial Stability.

Good development

We shall get there

Lecture them on VooDoo economy on wastage??

Lecture them on how to collect loans to pay salaries??

Lecture them on how to sign off monies from the CBN to finance political activities of the party??

Lecture them on how to manage in the time of austerity when she couldn't manage in the time of abundance??

Tell us, what lecture exactly

ok

very nice one from the president if u know u cannot solve a problem bring those who can

however my fear is that I hope the recommended would not end in the dust bin as with recommendations

At last

It's cool. They shouldn't allow their pride party (APC) to manipulate their mind into doing things the personal way. Let it be a general thought. Hope they invite experts like Okonjo-Iweala, even me

So Yinka worked.

T

Long overdue nau

If at all he'll implement the recomendations

Nice development

Pls what's the fate of the sovereign national conference outcome by the past administration?
It can't just go down the drain like that!
This country needs it asap!

Once a Dullard always a Dullard. A man who decides to marry the first daughter of his age mate deserves an award of foolishness. Had it been there was no public outcry the President Buhari would have added more media members than economic team.

Its just now that he has been pushed to do the needful. God what have we done to deserve this retard and the wickedness cum insensitivity of APC Government to us

long overdue but nevertheless it is a welcome development. Anything to better our economy is fine by me even due I am a proud wailer I must commend the president on this. Nice initiative.
