The Senior Special Assistant to the President on the Economic Recovery Growth Plan Implementation (ERGP), Dr. Effiong Essien has defended the move by the federal government to engage Malaysian experts to drive the implementation of the ERGP.
According to Essien, the decision of by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) was aimed at encouraging transfer of knowledge. Essien disclosed this in Kano state, during a two-day workshop for financial journalists organised by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC).
He stated that the sourcing for Malaysian experts to support government’s efforts to fix the economy falls within the third level of the ERGP. He added that once the foreign experts complete their work and go, they would thereafter leave the economy for Nigerians to use local content to build on what had been established “then escalate the experience to the state and local government level.”
