Ohaneze Advises Tinubu To Engage Adesina, Ezekwesili, Okonjo-Iweala, Others For Solution To Economic Crisis

The foremost pan-Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to engage Nigerian technocrats who are leading the way at renowned international organizations, for possible solution to the current economic crisis in Nigeria.

The social-cultural organization identified Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who is currently the Director General, World Trade Centre; former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili; and the President of the African Development Bank, Akinwunmi Adesina as some of the nation’s leading professionals who are in the best position to drive his vision for the country and proffer a lasting solution to the problem.

The call was made on Thursday by Secretary-General of the group, Okechukwu Isiguzoro.

Isiguzoro said the success of Tinubu’s administration lies in his consultations with these world-renowned economists.

The factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze urged the president to initiate a comprehensive overhaul of his economic team because they lack innovative ideas, competence, and determination to navigate Nigeria’s economy out of its current quagmire.

A statement by Isiguzoro reads “Ohanaeze Ndigbo adamantly asserts that seeking assistance from distinguished economists such as Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, and other highly reputable experts, solely based on merit and not on tribe or origin, is essential in rectifying the economy and providing viable solutions for Nigeria’s well-being.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo, strongly advises President Tinubu that the path to success lies in concrete and genuine consultations with these world-renowned economists. By drawing upon their expertise, a tangible and swift roadmap for Nigeria’s economic recovery can be forged while simultaneously reducing the burden of governance costs.

“It is evident that Tinubu must initiate a comprehensive overhaul of the economic team, as their evident lack of innovative ideas, competence, and determination has rendered them incapable of navigating the economy out of its current quagmire.

“Urgent and resolute action must be taken to address the prevailing economic hardships suffered by our nation. We implore President Tinubu to heed our counsel and take the necessary steps to secure a prosperous future for every Nigerian.”
