So, it’s the kind of bilateral support that doesn’t put a strain on Nigeria financially, Ofcourse, it helps in the agricultural sector.

The minister added that the economic management team, EMT Task Force, will be operational over the next six months and report directly to the President while initiatives aimed at growing the economy will be rolled out.
“That is the mandate and commitment of Mr. President ,So currently, we do have the economic management team and of course their work feeds into the Federal Executive Council, National Economic Council and, and even the Presidential economic Coordination Council, which is the highest body for economic coordination, chaired by Mr. President himself. And with the vice president as his vice chairman of that council.

“So beyond that there is now instead of just the economic management team, an economic management team task force and for the next six months that task force made up of selected members of the economic management team, the private sector, as well as the sub nationals as well as the Nigerian governors forum who will work assiduously to ensure that having dealt with major issues of monetary and fiscal policy, that there are real sector growth is assured companies are helped through these difficult times with fiscal incentives and other measures to ensure the survival of companies both the large scale ones as well as the medium and small scale”.
