‘Diversify economy,’ APC leader advises

Tinubu said  the country needs to look for creative ways to boost the economy.

 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has advised that the Nigerian economy be diversified.

According to Leadership, Tinubu said  the country needs to look for creative ways to boost the economy.

The former Lagos state Governor said “We keep talking about diversification of the economy. It is always in the drawing board. We never implemented it. ”

He also said “There are a lot of variables in the oil sector which we have to look at critically. We are not the only country that is affected by the effect of this oil crisis. We have to be more creative in a way that will not hurt the welfare of the people.”

“We need to look inwardly. There are so many ways and we are blessed to really create local demand, improve our disposable income and manage our own economy.

“We have the resources, people and the blessing of both weather and mineral resources but it will take time,” the APC leader added.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, representing Lagos West constituency in 1993.

The APC leader was also a founding member of National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), a group known for its fight for the restoration of democracy.
