Former Vice Chancellor of Crescent University, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Prof. Sheriffdeen Adewale Tella, has said that Nigeria’s economy has been growing at a slow pace under this dispensation because President Muhammadu Buhari took the economic problems of the country for granted on assumption of office in 2015.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Guardian, the former Vice President of the Nigerian Economic Society, also said the delay in the passage of the yearly Appropriation Bill by the National Assembly deepened the economic crisis of the country, which was occasioned by the slump in oil price. “There was no time in the four years that the budget was passed six months in the year. When you have that kind of situation, it will take time for the budget to affect the economy. By the time the budget’s implementation starts having effect on the economy, another year has come in.”
“The economy started coming out of recession towards the end of Buhari’s first term, particularly when oil price also started rising. But I don’t like the idea that oil price is rising because it makes us to forget our problems and start depending on oil again.”
A man who contested three times and failed but won the 4th time can't make us believe he took the nations economic problems for granted, we are not deceived. He has failed
Not true Sir, he came with a socialist idea, if you know PMB very well, he is an unrepentant Communist
he didn't pass economics in school days
'For granted' is not a good attitude for a president whose mismanagement of things is causing lose of life in thousands.
