President Bola Tinubu on Monday, mandated his ministers to do all in their powers to turn around the Nigerian economy within the shortest possible timeframe.
He handed down the mandate at the inaugural Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting he presided over at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
At the meeting, which lasted about three hours, Tinubu’s cabinet considered the “Roadmap for the Economy” presented by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the economy, Wale Edun.
Edun, at a later briefing session with State House Correspondents, observed that the economy is not where it ought to be.
He revealed that FEC examined eight priority areas and identified targets to deliver within the next three years.
Edun also affirmed that President Tinubu also charged the ministers to roll out policies and programmes to turn around the economy.
