President Muhammadu Buhari after receiving list of confirmed ministers from Senate President Bukola Saraki, defended what he said about the nation's economy during his recent visit to India.
The opposition party, PDP, had faulted the president for giving the country negative publicity on an international stage.
The presidency had swiftly replied, saying Buhari won't portray lies to the world about the country's economy like the former administration did.
Speaking with newsmen yesterday, Buhari buttressed his points.
He said though accused of giving bad publicity and scaring away investors from the country, investors knew better.
“Any investor who is interested in investing in Nigeria will seem to know more about the economy more than ourselves. So when I come and tell the truth about the position of the economy of the country, I am going out looking for investors,” he said.
“But I am confirming to them that we are truthful, that we need them to come and help us help ourselves by getting in industries, manufacturing and services.
“They know our needs. The economy of human resources, I believe will make them eventually come and help us,” he said.
