The minister of Finance, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed says the nation’s recent plunge into recession will be short-lived.
Speaking during the 26th Nigerian Economic Summit with the theme: “Building Partnerships for Resilience” in Abuja on Monday, Mrs Ahmed said “government and key stakeholders were proactively working together to put in place sustainable measures to curtail and improve the situation.”
Mrs. Ahmed who noted that the nation’s economy had out-performed many economies in terms of economic growth despite being in recession, added that the Federal Government, in partnership with the NESG had been working together on the national implementation plans as well as the regional and local development plans.
Since the inception of the NESG 25 years ago, it has become one of the largest annual gatherings dedicated to finding solutions to the challenges facing the Nigerian Economy.
“It has helped to shape government policies, reforms and sector transformations,’’ she said.
