Nigeria: National Economic Council Inaugurated

Mohammadu Buhari
The President, Mohammadu Buhari inaugurated the National Economic Council led by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

The council which has the 36 state governors and the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria as members is saddled with the responsibility of advising the President on economic affairs of the country.

The President said since the task of ensuring growth, job creation and equity is enormous, leaders must initiate, commence and implement developmental processes by cultivating a culture of prudent management of resources at all levels of government. 

Our country is one and we who have the responsibility to run it must lead by example and as far as it is possible, there should be distance between politics and development programmes.
- President Mohammadu Buhari.

The president said, that from experience as a former Governor, neighbouring states should cooperate closely on developmental projects.
