Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun says contrary to opinions by some
Nigerians, this administration is not confused as to how it intends to
grow the economy. According to Adeosun, the times may be confusing but
the administration is not confused. She said this while speaking with
state House correspondents.
"We are here because we were pumping the oil and using the money in
recurrent expenditure. We were not investing. The NBS statistics are
clearly showing that the level of investment has gone up so we are
moving away from consumption to investment.
What does investment do? It is permanent. If you
build a road, it is there for 40 years. These railways we want to revive
was done in the colonial years. and it is still there. So we have to
invest in capital. That is what this administration has said was our
economic strategy. No we are not confused. The times are confusing but
we are not confused. We are extremely focused. Know that if we can just
bear and get through this difficult period, Nigeria is going to be
better for it. And I must say, those who are criticizing us, not one
person has come up and said this is what you should do. All they are
saying is we don't like what we see. And we don't like it either. It is
inevitable"she said
