WTO Director-General Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has lauded President Bola Tinubu for stabilising Nigeria’s economy.
Speaking to State House correspondents after a meeting with the President in Abuja on Thursday, she said the Tinubu administration has made significant strides in ensuring economic stability, describing it as a key foundation for future growth.
“We think that the President and his team have worked hard to stabilise the economy and you cannot improve an economy unless it’s stable, so he has to be given the credit for the stability of the economy,” she said.
However, the WTO chief emphasized that the next focus should be on promoting economic growth while mitigating the impact of recent reforms on everyday Nigerians.
“The reforms have been in the right direction. What is needed next is growth. We now need to grow the economy and put in a social safety net, so that people who are feeling the pinch of the reforms can also have some support to weather the hardship,” she stated.
Okonjo-Iweala said talks with the President focused on creating safety nets, boosting jobs, and increasing income for vulnerable Nigerians.
“These are issues that we discussed with Mr. President,” she added.
In other news…. Recently evicted Big Brother Naija Season 10 contestant, Ibifubara, has voiced her disappointment over the limited screen time she received during her stay in the house.
In an interview with Arise TV, she expressed that she contributed a lot of energy and entertainment to the show, but much of it was not broadcast.
Reflecting on her experience, Ibifubara pointed out the difficulty of standing out in a house with 29 housemates and constant camera coverage.
“I put in a lot of fun and did my best, but it seems those moments didn’t reach the audience. What I experienced inside wasn’t fully reflected on TV.
“With so many people and cameras capturing different angles at different times, I look back and think, ‘I did all these things, but where are the clips?’ I wish viewers had gotten to see more of me,” she said.
Her exit, alongside fellow contestant Danboskid, marked the season’s first double eviction, leaving 27 housemates competing for the N150 million grand prize.
