Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president of Nigeria, has told President Bola Tinubu the way forward amid the country’s economic challenges.
The former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate said President Tinubu’s last 365 days in office had been marred by economic policies that have created hostility in the small and large business environment.
According to The Punch, Atiku maintained that Tinubu’s economic policies have overwhelmed the private sector, which is also burdened by the present administration’s failure to address the fallout of its policies.
The former vice president lamented that rising input prices, borrowing costs, a complex exchange rate, and high energy costs have bogged the manufacturing sector, which holds key jobs, higher incomes, and economic growth.
He went further and listed six rescue strategies for the economy to return to normal. Below are the highlights of Atiku’s six suggestions
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that President Tinubu has revealed a long-time relationship with Gilbert Chagoury, the chairman of HiTech Company, which is handling the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway.
The president made the revelation during the flag-off of the road in Lagos on Sunday, May 27, adding that they tamed the Atlantic Ocean together in Lagos.
Tinubu’s revelation came three weeks after Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate in 2023, alleged that the contract was awarded to HiTech because the president’s son was on the company’s board.
