Specifically, Isiguzoro the chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo sociocultural has urged Tinubu to consult with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director General of the World Trade Organization, Oby Ezekwesili, the former Education Minister, and Akinwumi Adesina, the President of the African Development Bank, to achieve this goal.
According to Isiguzoro the chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo sociocultural, said the success of Tinubu’s administration will depend on how well he consults with these experts and implements their recommendations.
Furthermore, Isiguzoro has called on the president to undertake a comprehensive overhaul of his economic team as he believes that they lack innovative ideas, competence, and determination to navigate Nigeria’s economy out of its current quagmire.
Overall, Isiguzoro’s call for action highlights the urgency of the economic situation in Nigeria and the need for effective measures to be taken to address the challenges facing the country.
A statement by Isiguzoro reads “Ohanaeze Ndigbo adamantly asserts that seeking assistance from distinguished economists such as Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, and other highly reputable experts, solely based on merit and not on tribe or origin, is essential in rectifying the economy and providing viable solutions for Nigeria’s well-being.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo, strongly advises President Tinubu that the path to success lies in concrete and genuine consultations with these world-renowned economists.
By drawing upon their expertise, a tangible and swift roadmap for Nigeria’s economic recovery can be forged while simultaneously reducing the burden of governance costs.
“It is evident that Tinubu must initiate a comprehensive overhaul of the economic team, as their evident lack of innovative ideas, competence, and determination has rendered them incapable of navigating the economy out of its current quagmire.
“Urgent and resolute action must be taken to address the prevailing economic hardships suffered by our nation. We implore President Tinubu to heed our counsel and take the necessary steps to secure a prosperous future for every Nigerian.”
