As a Nigerian, investor and employer of labour, the news of Nigeria’s official emergence from the recession is most welcome.— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) September 6, 2017
The news is surely a boost for Nigeria – it tells investors, local and foreign, that our economy is worth investing in.— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) September 6, 2017
While we rejoice, it’s also important to recognize that economic weakness at the bottom of the pyramid remains. Inflation is still high.— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) September 6, 2017
We must continue working hard to expand economic opportunity for all Nigerians.— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) September 6, 2017
When all Nigerians can eat 3 square meals, that’s when the real recession ends. We have work to do.— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) September 6, 2017
