It could be noted that the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari Government led the country without any known economic direction that further enriched the already rich or privileged few and impoverished the poor, driving 133 million Nigerians into poverty.
The Buhari Government also left behind humongous debts, plunging the country into high debt, increasing inflation and low growth, and moving Nigeria’s debt profile from N42 trillion to N77 trillion.
