In his words: “Some people have made it a pastime to talk as if there is no silver lining in the sky as far as the Nigerian economy is concerned.
“They carry on as if it is doom and gloom all the way, a thoroughfare of woes. This they do, to hoodwink the public, and peradventure gain political advantage for themselves, or their principals.
“But facts are stubborn things. Those arrayed against facts may abhor and deride them, but there they are, staring them starkly in the face.
“These are just little among the good things happening to the Nigerian economy. Only the willfully blind will not see it, but it does not stop the good work, which continues.”
He added: “On exiting recession last year, President Muhammadu Buhari had said he would not consider the job done, until the ordinary man feels the impact of the rebounding economy on his life and pocket. We are inexorably on that road, no matter what scoffers may say.”
