As the Nigerian naira continue to struggle against the dollar at the parallel market, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu State, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to form a new economic team.
In a video posted on his church’s official Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon, the outspoken cleric believes President Buhari disbanding the present economic team and putting together a new one, would salvage Nigeria’s floundering economy.
“Naira is falling everyday. This year (2022), President Buhari, form a new economic team. Do something very fast so that Naira can arise and shine,” Mbaka said.
Mbaka’s advice comes amid the appointment of Dr. Doyin Salami as President Buhari’s Chief Economic Adviser on Tuesday.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the Buhari administration has witnessed two recessions in less than seven years of its reign with the country taking a bottom position in key economic indices – unemployment and inflation among many others.
The administration has also been consistently knocked for its lacklustre management of the economy and dreary outputs of its policies, though it has consistently claimed to have inherited a “dying” economy.
