Most Nigerian Families Struggling For Survival – Dogara
BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara has urged the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to do all within its powers to alleviate the sufferings of most Nigerians whom he noted are struggling for survival.
In light of this, Dogara called for policy consistency and synergy among all stakeholders towards sustained economic growth and development, as well as full implementation of the President’s well-crafted and thought-out Economic Recovery and Growth Plan which was launched in January 2017.
Dogara, who stated these while speaking at the occasion of the presentation of the 2018 Budget Estimates by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Joint Session of the National Assembly, said as a government, the executive and legislature must do all within their powers to hasten the long night of panic and fear of many struggling Nigerians into a glorious morning through sustained economic growth and development.
He said, “May I also use this opportunity to congratulate Mr. President for leading Nigeria out of recession. Although recession has technically ended, most Nigerian families are still struggling. As a Government, we must do all within our powers to hasten their long night of panic and fear into a glorious morning.
“We must never allow this nation to slide into recession, not now, not ever again. We cannot therefore discountenance policy consistency and synergy between all stakeholders, if we must sustain economic growth and development, going forward.
“Mr. President, I urge that you take no prisoners in the implementation of your well-crafted and thought-out Economic recovery and Growth Plan which you launched in January 2017.”
