Nigeria's Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun has stated that the time is now, and the government is set to touch the lives of the Nigerian populace, after spending one year in planning.
Adeosun, who was at the Spring Meetings of the World Bank/International Monetary Fund, Washington D.C, Adeosun said the administration has spent that last one year laying the foundation for the economy and now is for building and making a real positive difference in the lives of Nigerians.
Adeosun said her work at the IMF meetings in 2016 were on setting a foundation for growth, but now the focus is on making jobs available for the man on the street.
“Last year was really around preparation; you know how to get our road going, the rail, the power and now it is about how does that translate to the man on the street getting a job.
“And when we leave here now we are going to look on how to implement what we discussed agriculture inclusive.
“Today we are going to discuss power because power on its own can transform the man on the street or having an improvement in his standard of living. Power alone can transform our GDP growth and improve the economy.”
