The Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry, ACCI, has expressed disappointment with the outcome of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Economic Retreat in Abuja, saying it failed to address fundamental issues.

The National Assembly approved the 2016 Appropriation Bill, just a day before recess, on the Wednesday 23rd of March; the approval was a fulfillment of the Appropriation Committees’ promise to do the needful before the Easter break. However, the Senate Appropriation Committee’s Chairman, Danjuma Goje, acknowledged that the three months delay before implementation could have been avoided if the Budget was presented to the Legislature in good time.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former governor of Lagos, and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for all Nigerians to rally behind President Muhammadu Buhari in his bid to “clear the rot he inherited.” This call was reportedly made at the Usmanu Danfodio University where Tinubu was honored with an honorary “Doctor of Business Administration,” by the Congregation of the University at its convocation. “There is much to fix” declared Mr. Tinubu. “President Buhari is committed to fixing them. But he needs your support and patience. We must stand beside him, or else we may be knocked down and not stand at all.” Bola Tinubu’s call sounds eerily familiar.

One of the “bad” habits of professional economists is the tendency to quantify virtually everything. They develop metrics for assessing real human experiences in a manner that reveals certain truths which might be hidden from others.

THE announcement by President Muhammadu Buhari that Nigeria will join ISMAT, a Saudi-led military coalition of Sunni Muslim countries fighting rival Muslim factions in the Middle East is capable of destabilising Nigeria and unsettling its already seriously challenged unity in diversity. It is not only against the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but more than that, it is liable to reduce Northern Nigeria and the nation a whole to a theatre of Muslim proxy wars as we see in Yemen, Syria, Libya and other countries.

As I’m talking to you, $20bn is in various domiciliary accounts of individuals. Naira is our currency, why are they keeping the foreign currency? From my experience in international finance, I have never seen a country where its nationals speculate on its currency”.
