Immediate past Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, on Tuesday, said that Nigerians should be proud that they have an economist as their president.
The former Minister disclosed this on Twitter while describing President Bola Tinubu as an economist who knows all the nuances of how to grow a modern economy.
In his words, “A new crop of leaders are emerging in Africa that have clear ideas as to how they want their various economies and societies to be run so as to prioritise their self-sustenance and cultural imperatives over and above theories and conditionalities of the Western World and other bigger economies that do not sit well with their people.
“We should be proud that we have @officialABAT at this time as President who, from a rich antecedent, knows all the nuances of how to grow a modern economy and can easily connect with other African leaders on such initiatives.”
It would be recalled that President Tinubu and the other world leaders, multilateral institutions, financial experts, and economists signed a new Global Financial Pact summit in Paris.
The president had unveiled a more holistic look at the recovery of economies from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and rising cases of poverty, with a view to providing access to finance and investment that will leverage inclusive growth.
