The committee on Sunday had its inauguration meeting at the Villa presided over by President Bola Tinubu with the latter quoted to have said about their terms of reference, “it is to provide additional efforts in stabilising the economy and ensuring the best economic future for Nigerians.”
Tinubu’s media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement he released further echoed his principal.
Ngelale wrote, “Let’s look at what we’re doing right and what we’re doing wrong to bring life back to the economy. As I have said many times, the people of this country are only the people we have to please.
“And we are very much concerned from students to mothers and fathers, farmers, the traders and realising that everyone of us will have to fetch water from the same well. We’re looking for additional efforts that’s might help the downtrodden Nigerians and we will provide hope and reassurance that economic recovery is on its way.
“We are not saying that we have all the answers. But we will not be blamed for not trying. We assure Nigerians that we will do our best to get our marshall plan in place and fashion out the best economic future for this country.”
