Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola has said the recession occurred to teach Nigerians some lessons and make the nation great and economically viable.
He spoke at the New Year special prayer session organised by traditional religious worshippers in collaboration with the government in Abere, Osogbo, the state capital.
