”Let’s look at what we’re doing right and what we’re doing wrong to bring life back to the economy. Like I mentioned, many times, the people of this country are merely the ones who we have to please. ”We are very much concerned from students to moms and dads, farmers, the dealers and knowing that everyone of us would have to gather water from the same well. ”We’re searching for more activities that can benefit the impoverished Nigerians and we will offer that hope and comfort that economic recovery is on its way.
”We are not stating that we have all the solutions. But we will not be penalized for not trying. ”We guarantee Nigerians that we would do our best to get our strategic plans in place and fashion out the best economic future for our country,” he said.
