He acknowledged the global challenge of inflation, noting that Nigeria is not immune, but expressed optimism that the country can do better.
Speaking with reporters after a public lecture organized by the Treasure Newspaper, themed “Home Grown Economy as Road Map for Economic Sustainability: Examining the Prospects under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Administration,” Governor Aiyedatiwa praised the President’s commitment to economic recovery.
