Nigerian Govt Appreciates Nigerians For Enduring Hardship

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, said the Federal Government appreciates the endurance of Nigerians on the side effects of economic reforms which he said have started yielding results.

Edun stated this on Thursday in Abija during an interactive session with the Senate Committee on Finance.

He said the teething problems from the reforms are over for Nigerians as positive indicators for better days are already emerging.
“The two critical reforms on market-based price of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, and foreign exchange, are now at the stage of results delivery and by extension, viability of the nation’s economy through restoration of fiscal viability.

“These two pillars of the economic reforms that have taken positive shape now portend additional revenue for government, recovery of the finances of NNPCL and a strong basis for growing the economy, in terms of attracting investment and creating jobs.
“I think we need to commend Nigerians for staying the course to this stage of getting benefits,” he stated.
On his part, the chairman of the committee, Senator Sani Musa, said the session was a fact-finding one on workability or otherwise of the various reforms.
