Prof. Wole Soyinka To Buhari, Convene An Emergency Economic Conference by centvin008(m): 6:03pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
Apparently worried by the continuous decline in the nation’s economy, Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, on Thursday, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to convene an emergency economic conference to enable experts brainstorm on the way forward and future of the economy. The Nobel Laureate made the call when he paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Information and Culture, Alh. Lai Mohammed in Abuja. Soyinka said the conference became necessary to enable experts diagnose the problems currently facing the country and to make necessary recommendation for government to get the economy out of the woods. ‘‘I agree with those who say the economy is bad. It is obvious and it is so bad. We really need an emergency economic conference, bringing experts together to match the nation forward. I think the economy is not encouraging. Quite frankly, I think most economists will agree with this. ‘‘The economic condition of a nation does not deteriorate over night, something came before that deterioration. A certain prolonged process of attrition that happened in the past is now knocking on the door. The consequences of the past misgovernance is what we are undergoing right now.’’ Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/nigerias-economy-is-bad-calls-emergency-conference-soyinka-urges-buhari/ 15 Likes 4 Shares |

Yes indeed, instead of PMB gallivanting all over the place on useless journeys. The country needs a steady & focused approach in relations to the economy. 89 Likes 6 Shares |

Mr President has diagnosed the problem and tagged it corruption and criminality. After fighting corruption head on, he would then tackle criminal Nigerians and if there be energy left in him he would then build your economy even if $ is 1000 dinars by then. Happy country. 81 Likes 5 Shares |

Oh so it has come to this point,right? To convene an emergency economic meeting to reason how to save this nation? Of what good will that be when the head has no idea whatsoever on how to tackle even the smallest challenge this nation is facing? Mr Soyinka,you were among the people that ridiculed the previous government and helped foist Buhari on Nigerians,now will be the right time to perform that magic you guys promised Nigerians. 107 Likes 16 Shares |

I entirely agree with you Prof.. But sir, do you really think this administration will do that? I doubt. Although I support Buhari's government but I know that the FG, out of short sighted arrogance, will not accept this obvious truth. My opinion *NaijaLegalAnalyst* 10 Likes 1 Share |

When he took months for "honeymoon" people raised concerns about such time wasting and laxity but APC chieftains and zombie followers said they should give their "baba" some time for honeymoon.. Then he took some more months searching for saints for ministerial posts and the likes of Soyinka were mute...oh thou hypocrites! 52 Likes 5 Shares |

Body language is no longer working, the economy has gone to the dogs. The APC in collaboration with Tinubu and his gangs looked at Nigeria and went into the graves of our nation’s painful past to exhume their candidate to become president, now see where it all got us. Buhari was speaking in maxims during his campaigns. Nigerians are now faced with the realities of what he actually meant when he cajoled the most gullible that he will take them to the eldorado they craved for. 28 Likes 2 Shares |
