Tinubu Forms Tripartite Economic Advisory Committee.

President Bola Tinubu has formed a tripartite economic advisory council as part of his efforts to stabilise Nigeria’s economy.

The group, which included members from the federal and state governments as well as the organised private sector, was formed and unveiled by the President during a meeting with key stakeholders at the State House in Abuja on Sunday.

The President stated, “We are doing everything we can to revitalise the economy.” As I have repeatedly stated, the people of our country are the only ones with whom we must be satisfied. And we’re quite concerned. From students to mothers, fathers, farmers, and merchants.

“Recognising that we would all have to draw water from the same well, we are searching for further measures that can assist the downtrodden Nigerians, and we will bring hope and confidence that economic recovery is on the road.

“We don’t claim to have all the solutions, but we won’t be blamed for not trying.”

Some members of the private sector include Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote; the Chairman of the BUA Group, Abdulsamad Rabiu; and the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, among others.

Dangote told the reporters that the talk centred mostly on the economy, food security, and job development. He stated that the committee will review all of the issues and fix them.

Soludo also stated that the committee will convene periodically to provide economic suggestions to the President.
