This is an interesting clip worth listening to and can be watched after the break.

His suggestions in snippets: 
  • Federal government should sell assets to keep the country afloat 
  • Intra-trade among African countries
  • Diversifying the resources in the economy
  • Improving oil refinery capacity in Nigeria and stop depending on other countries to refine Nigeria's oil
  • Introduce African Finance Cooperation
  • Curb imports and create exports 
  • Create local employment
  • Government should collect taxes and not build factories
By fourth quarter we should be out of the recession, Nigeria has all the answers, the leaders should believe in their people and have long term strategies. This is what the government needs in terms of advice and guidance till the economy improves.
