This meeting is the first since the inauguration of the advisory council.

President Buhari last month replacedthe Economic Management Team, headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, with the Economic Advisory Council which is mandated to report directly to him.

The eight-man economic advisory council is headed by Professor Doyin Salami with Dr Mohammed Sagagi as vice chairman while the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Development Policy, Dr Mohammed Salisu, is the secretary.

Appointed as members of the council is the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Professor Chukwuma Soludo, and the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Financial Derivatives Company Limited, Mr Bismark Rewane.

Other members of the committee are Professor Ode Ojowu, Dr Shehu Yahaya, and Dr Iyabo Masha.

They better give Mr President sound economic advice. The budget that was presented to the national assembly is not growth oriented

Another hardship program about to be rolled out

The next advice may be "placing tax on bathroom"
Since data and cable tv seem not causing enough outcry.

Fools in the zoo

This gathering of some of the best eggheads Nigeria can boast of, inspires hope and belief about the future. We must give them a chance to offer their ideas.

meeting for what? see the result of the last meeting on us!

meeting they rather bring here on Nairaland so we can correct them when they goof! why take it behind closed doors ? abi no be buhari again?

Bubu

U mean with his recession/poverty implementation council

They better be and I hope they listen to the experts advice and not what they already have in their minds.

As if he will listen to the advice given. The man don tire me

They have closed border already , do they
want to close the air space also?

We need good news...
I wonder why some guys here will be calling The President a Fool, Dumb, etc...
This is not right. Don't let your frustration or anger make you lose respect for
the elder not to talk of the President

Can you call your Father a fool if he is not doing the right thing?
If you can then I rest my case.

Will that dumb fool called Buhari understand anything?

I'm here to read the Nairalanders' reactions to this

It will surely end well...

Close door meeting
Close door meeting
Daz Y his brain is closed
The day he opens door meeting
His brain will be open. Fresh air! Fresh brain.
Close door, close brain.

Osinbanjo right now

If they like, let Dem close windows and pigeon holes, their meeting no dey help naija

Whether he go do wetin them advice am?

That should be the worries now.
Because already, Nigeria is running on half tank hence the reason for all the tax the govt is introducing.

Well he doesnt have any option, he ought to do all he can to revive the economy.
These days, nations are respected by the size of their economy, no longer by the size of their military.

for nothing

No he shouldn't have replaced that short devil pastor with capable hands let's see how this country will progress

This is all to show that he is seriously working hard to fix the economy. Whether he listen to their advice is another thing entirely.

Buhari didn't deem it fit to include Prof. Osinbajo, a SAN in the meeting?

Which way Nigeria?
