bloomshorts The ADC has criticized the Federal Government for ignoring the substantive message in Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s recent comments on Nigeria’s economy, opting instead to celebrate headline achievements.
According to the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the government and its media allies have selectively highlighted Okonjo-Iweala’s acknowledgment of economic stabilization, while disregarding her urgent call for measures to stimulate growth and protect vulnerable Nigerians from the adverse effects of ongoing reforms.
Dr. Okonjo-Iweala’s remarks, which also emphasized the need for job creation and social safety nets, underscore the gap between the government’s narrative and the harsh realities faced by millions of Nigerians. With GDP growth sluggish and inflation soaring, the ADC urges a shift in focus towards policies that address these pressing challenges.
