Port Harcourt, May 23, 2024 – Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Thursday advised Nigerians to give President Bola Tinubu more time to deliver on his promises.
Sanusi made the appeal in Port Harcourt while presenting a keynote address at the 2024 Rivers State Economic and Investment Summit.
He said the current administration required more than one year for the country’s economy to recover from 10 years of mismanagement.
“The decision to centre governance around economic development through investment promotion is a very thoughtful and great decision by the government of Rivers State.
“This is more so because the reform of an economy, whether state or the federation at large, requires difficult decisions, it involves policies that will be painful and unpopular which usually don’t go down well with the politicians.
“But that is the only way to guarantee a better future for the people. At this point it is important for us as Nigerians to be realistic, the mismanagement of the last 10 years will not be undone in six months or one year,” he said. (GBN)
