Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on information and strategy, on Sunday, reacted to a recent report published in the New York Times on Nigeria’s economy.
He said Ruth Maclean and Ismail Auwal’s feature story, ‘Nigeria Confronts Its Worst Economic Crisis in a Generation,’ published on 11 June, appeared typically predetermined and followed the usually denigrating way foreign media establishments reported African countries for several decades.
He said that because of the misleading slant of the report, there was need to clear up some misconceptions conveyed by the reporters as regards the economic policies of the Tinubu administration that came into power at the end of May 2023.
