Presidency Unveils Buhari’s Economic Team by senier007(m): 7:08am On Feb 27, 2016 |
The Presidency has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari has an economic management team. The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Mr Laolu Akande, disclosed this in a telephone interview with our correspondent last light. Akande was reacting to a media report that quoted some economic experts as urging the president to form his economic team. According to him, the economic team of President Buhari has been put in place since the inauguration of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) last November. Akande said the economic management team is headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. He listed the team’s key members as including the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma; the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun; the Minister of Trade, Industry and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah; the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godswin Emefiele; and the Director-General of the Debt Management Office (DMO). He said the composition of the team was not static as Agriculture Minister Audu Ogbe and Information Minister Lai Mohammed as well as relevant permanent secretaries have also been involved. The vice president’s aide said the team had since been meeting and engaging representatives of the private sector. He noted that unlike what obtained in the past, Buhari’s administration did not make anybody from the private sector a member of the economic management team. The vice president’s spokesman also exclusively told our correspondent that President Buhari had appointed Dr. Oluyemi Dipeolu as his Special Adviser on Economic Matters. He said the economic adviser, who was until his appointment in January a director in the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), has been working with the economic management team. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/presidency-unveils-buhari-s-economic-team/135566.html#ihkVDwQAzxibuwGB.99 8 Likes 3 Shares

Great. I know with time, today's hardship will give way for prosperity with PMB/VPYO as our Change agents. The economic situation of today is a result of our bad decisions of many years past. It's not a rocket science. 62 Likes 3 Shares |

"Every great movement must experience three stages; ridicule, discussion and adoption" - John Stuart Mill Some of the yelling of the opposition may not be unwarranted but most times it is ill conceived. It should be noted by all that Rome was not built in a day and any road that has no obstacles lead nowhere. Nonetheless, the commitment and will of the present administration is the ultimate asset of the CHANGE MANTRA some of us has upheld and we are confident that the CHANGE the people so desire and deserve will surely come. 32 Likes 1 Share |

What kind of economic team is this? We are talking about seasoned economists to help steer the economic ship in turbulent times like this and someone is calling the agriculturist and Mr Lai. Wtf does Lai know about basic economics. This government is the biggest joke of the century. 43 Likes 3 Shares |

opeaceo:In the right sense, there should be a team of research amd policy makers in every ministry which comprises of technocrats in that said fields and a little bit of politicians in the person of the minister and most importantly the President needs to be the chairman of that commitee of which they are to meet at least once a week to brainstorm on certain issues. This would have been the mechanism of a government that knows and understand it's worth not just on economic matters. Take for example the environmental ministry should have seasoned environmentalist in a commitee that serves as a tink tank group that brainstorm on environmental issues and advices the president on environmental issues because we understand that no man is an island of knowledge. Buhari keeps cementing my initial doubts on his candidacy. I'm not surprised. 8 Likes 1 Share |

senier007: This is a very CONFUSED federal administration with no plan whatsoever for our country! They are not pro-active. They only REACT when they are pushed by NEGATIVE public opinion. Then they rush to spew out LIES and more propaganda to make their matters worse. So they established an economic team since November 2015 but no one knew about it despite this being a very media-conscious paparazzi photocracy, not so ![]() Meanwhile, not having the private sector adequately represented spells DOOM for our economy again just like in the 80s under this economically daft, dumb & dull megida who already confessed with his own mouth that he is too old to perform. ![]() www.nairaland.com/attachments/2095210_worst_jpeg588f192a23aa02a7b350a8bbe5d18306 www.nairaland.com/attachments/2528926_tmp61502528872facebook20150617191930jpeg832844a84aa3478c63eaeb9b81c3671b685598635_jpeg_jpeg01c8bb4f9409f5e9a6135536a34012a7 49 Likes 6 Shares |

Like I've said in the past, PMB's govt leans towards socialism. An economic system were govt at the centre plays a dominant role in economic activities. This explains why Buhari has no person from the private sector as member of his economic team. But is socialism the solution to nigeria's economic problems? For me personally it is not. Socialism will do more harm than good to a country like Nigeria. Nigeria's major problem is not lack of funds but lack of productivity. A problem brought about by a failed economic structure were economic resources are concentrated at the centre. This system breeds nothing but mediocrity and unproductivity. It doesn't encourage innovation, nor does it encourage long term economic developement (something Nigeria desperately needs). This explains why Nigeria's current economy is still driving by a single commodity; crude oil. Diversification is not possible with centralization of economic activities at the centre. That's why states in the federation are still tied to Abuja for monthly allocation. The problem is not leadership, it's the SYSTEM. Our economic system is on the wrong footing. No country in the world can ever develop with this kind of defective economic system. We have been living in denial for so long, thinking that things will get better with the right leadership, but it will not. It will keep on getting worse. Current economic realities are there for all to see. Nigeria has reached her elastic limit. A point were population growth far outweights productivity. Nigeria has two choices to make; a choice to make CAPITALISM (decentralization of economic activities) as our economic model or SOCIALISM (centralization of economic activities). Until we wake up from our slumber and tell ourselves the hard truth about our current defective economic system, we will continue running in cycles of underdevelopment. 33 Likes 7 Shares |

In my opinion this is not a very good economic team. An economic team should comprise of people in government and the private sector. Also, why is this so called economic team quiet and not proactive? A lot of things has being happening based on speculation and not policies from the government. 18 Likes 2 Shares |
