Former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar, on Wednesday reacted to report by the National Bureau of Statistics,
NBS, saying Nigeria is out of recession.
Abubakar, who expressed joy over
the report, however, said recession will end when all “Nigerians can eat three
square meals.”
In a series of tweets, the Waziri
of Adamawa noted that a lot of work still needs to be done.
He wrote: “As a Nigerian,
investor and employer of labour, the news of Nigeria’s official emergence from
the recession is most welcome.
“The news is surely a boost for
Nigeria – it tells investors, local and foreign, that our economy is worth
investing in.
“While we rejoice, it’s also
important to recognize that economic weakness at the bottom of the pyramid
remains. Inflation is still high.
“We must continue working hard to
expand economic opportunity for all Nigerians.
“When all Nigerians can eat three
square meals, that’s when the real recession ends. We have work to do.”
