According to him the only way to tackle recession will be to put policies that will encourage production in place.
Oshiomhole also added that change cannot come in a short while, citing a backlog of problems that existed before President Buhari’s administration as the reason.
He said “There has to be a time lapse between when you formulate policies on the basis of what you found on ground, and when the benefits of those policies begin to manifest, If it takes 60 years to get to this terrible state we are in, why would anybody think that under 15 months of a new government, we will fix it?”
