that issue. I have been distributing fertiliser, rice, and other items to support the recovery of citizens. I assure you, Nigerians, we are looking at the light at the end of the tunnel.
I can assure you, this economy will be revived, will survive, and prosper,’’ the president emphasised.
In his remarks, the Sultan of Sokoto said: “I believe that this brief meeting will clear some issues that many people have in their minds. At our meeting on Monday, we had a very open discussion on all issues affecting the nation.
We are the ones who will tell you the truth about what is happening in our various communities.’’ The royal father said an executive council meeting was held on Monday, and the Council, composed of all state chairmen of the 36 States and the FCT, met to deliberate on the economy.
The Ooni of Ife thanked the president for inviting the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu, and the GCEO of NNPCL, Mele Kyari, to brief the traditional rulers on the state of the economy.
“We heard from the GCEO of NNPCL. They are the ones that propel our economy. We have heard from the Minister of Finance. We also heard from the Minister of Budget and the NSA.
We want to encourage you, Mr. President, we will all get back to our various communities and let our people know because none of us locks our palaces,’’ the monarch added.
