Tinubu asks NEC to deliver economic growth

Tinubu said it’s important for members of the council to perform because they asked and begged during campaigns to secure their seats.

“It is evident that the task of growing our economy is enormous, but you and I asked for it. We campaigned for it, we even danced for it, we begged for it, so we have no reason to complain,” the president said on Thursday, June 15, 2023, during the inauguration of the National Economic Council at the Council Chamber of the State House Abuja.

He said the task of turning the country’s economy around started with the removal of fuel subsidy and unification of exchange rates.
