Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, has said the federal government is committed to sustaining the economic growth recorded by the country.
She was speaking during the presentation of a study on Nigeria by McKinsey Global Institute titled ‘Nigeria’s Renewal: Delivering Inclusive Growth in African’s Largest Economy’ in New York.
Reeling out the various initiatives introduced by the current administration to turn Nigeria around, Iweala called on investors to take advantage of the abundant opportunities and invest massively in the country.
Also speaking at the event, a former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, who noted that President Goodluck Jonathan was effectively managing the Nigeria’s economy, added that Nigerians would begin to feel the positive impact of government’s economic polices, such as privatisation of the power sector, support for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), local manufacturers, among other measures.
He also commended the new policy on agriculture, adding, “The way we are moving on agriculture, I have no doubt that Nigeria had made a bold move towards achieving food sufficiency in the shortest possible time.”
