Recession: Commissioner Tasks FG On Ideal Blueprint

The  Commissioner for
Special Duties in charge of Bayelsa West Senatorial District, Tamunobele Ogwo, has called on the Federal Government to come up with an ideal economic blueprint with which to run the economy and tackle the challenges of recession
He said that it is no longer necessary for the country to continue in the old fashioned economic policies that have not helped the country to develop.
Ogwo who disclosed this to newsmen at the Port Harcourt International Airport Omagwa on his arrival from Abuja, noted that Nigerians are suffering so much from economic hardship, which ought not to be.
According to him, the revenue that Nigeria earns from the sale of crude oil alone is so enormous, which can be used to develop the country, and that many countries that are advancing economically do not earn what Nigeria gets from the sale of petroleum products.
“Let the federal government, the commissioners for finance, the national assembly and other stakeholders come up with a new strategy.
“Government should motivate business, they should encourage productivity. We must not continue in this old system, people are suffering. We need new ideals and new economic policies that will turn the economy to real development”, he said.
On the concessioning of the airport, the Bayelsa Commissioner posited that the end result of it should be on how to move the Nigerian aviation forward and also develop the economy.
“The constitution should be followed and the constitution did not say that concessioning should be done on ethnic group basis, but if the people that can run it effectively came from a particular group, let them handle it”, Tamunobele stated.
