A civil society organisation (CSO), Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), has advised the federal government to align economic policies towards export-led growth instead of the fixation on import substitution, which it described as a basic minimum. CSJ argued that exports will help improve the value of the naira and reposition the fiscal and external accounts.
In the mid-term economic report of the Buhari administration issued by its Lead Director, Mr. Eze Onyekpere, the group noted that the economy has not been managed in the most efficient and reasonable manner to enable the federal government to fulfill its obligation of improving the standard of living of Nigerians.
“Majority of Nigerians are now living below the poverty line and life has become so miserable and intolerable for the majority. “Thus, federal government of Nigeria needs to take concrete and targeted steps towards rejuvenating the economy and inclusively ensuring that all hands are on deck for this national assignment.
