Pat Utomi: 'Nigerians May Soon Queue To Buy Salt' by Mztarstrechy(m): 2:24pm On Feb 26, 2016 |
Pat Utomi, professor of political economy and management expert, says Nigerians may start queuing to buy salt if the government fails to deal with the fundamentals of the economy. Speaking on Sunrise Daily, a breakfast programme on Channels Television, on Thursday, Utomi said the government needs to deal with the fundamentals of a producing economy. https://www.thecable.ng/utomi-nigerians-may-soon-queue-buy-salt 13 Likes 1 Share

If you tell Buhari the hard truth,a certain tribe will attack you on his behalf and call you IPoB. Even his own people won't talk but this 'people' will carry it on their head to insult you endlessly. Let's keep telling them the truth 184 Likes 17 Shares |

“If we don’t deal with the fundamentals we will queue again. It is not a matter of exchange rate. We are talking about symptoms; let’s deal with the fundamentals of a producing economy, diversifying the base of our economy which is not a light bob that you can switch on and off. PMB should make this guy a consultant. He just nailed it here. A. Full diversification of the economy cannot happen overnight. B. There should be good fiscal policies that would create incentives for budding industries. Right now there is none. These are the real issues not "exchange rate" or devaluation/no devaluation. Even if we devalue the naira now, nothing will improve because there are no policies to take advantage of the decision. I'm positive that if Buhari spends one month to assemble a formidable team, and brainstorm on a range of policies to affect budding Nigerian industries especially the buoyant agric sector, investors confidence will be piqued and the economy will stop falling. Look at the fiscal policies on local processing of rice and automotive policy by GEJ. Those are sound policies. Buhari needs to push forward with good policies of his own. Tomatoes are wasting in the north and we are still importing tomato paste when our local tomato paste manufacturers face plenty of logistical challenges. That mini-industry needs government input. Increase import duty on tomato paste and make low interest loans available for the producers. Very soon, like with cement, we would be totally dependent on local production and start exporting tomato paste. There are many mini-industries like that, that need Buhari's timely intervention to grow and further diversify the economy, but the dullard will prefer to travel without placing emphasis on the economy. -Lord 109 Likes 9 Shares |

Elosky20: I tire o, the way some of our elites have been bashing PMB, shows they are indeed the major cause of our problems cos a lot of them benefit majorly from our importation based economy. They have to prophesy doom so PMB can easily cave in to their desires which is devaluation but God pass them. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Devaluation is a really tricky subject, especially when there are no real complementary policies & strategies. Nigeria has been devaluing the Naira from less than N1/$ to the current rate of N198/$ and yet there has been no real economic benefit to the country. --- The biggest beneficiary of devaluation will be government, since they control 95% of what we export (oil). Ordinary Nigerians will be the worst victims since almost every item in the country has some import component. The fact that the president has rejected devaluation, even though it would have been a very easy avenue for him to generate money to fund his budget shows he really thinks about the masses. --- I think an economic summit where there is a robust discussion on the best economic strategy for the country would be most ideal. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Bevista: Nigeria does not need devaluation right now. Formulate good fiscal policies first, enforce them, then we can better modulate and weigh the benefits of devaluation. Right now, I can only see devaluation as a bad move if enforced. We don't need an economic summit. Too many cooks spoil the broth. We need a formidable economic team set up by Buhari. Then the team will also have consultants with independent input that is ratified by the team before it is infused into a fiscal policy. That is exactly what Canada did. That is what Saudi Arabia is currently doing. That is the strategy of World Bank/IMF. -Lord 39 Likes 1 Share |

We need to amend the laws, going forward . . . Most of our industrial laws are archaic and redundant for this times. We need to checkmate 'excess liquidity' from whence high interest rates are borne. We need refineriessssss. We need power! https://www.nairaland.com/2949997/dollar-vs-naira-done 2 Likes |
