Senate President, David Mark, had yesterday blasted the presidency
for compounding the problems of Nigerians by creating untold hardship
for the people due to poor budget implementation.
Senator Mark made this statement during his opening remarks after
the senate returned from its 8 weeks recess. He had stated that
President Jonathan and his economic team should go for robust economic
policies that will take Nigeria out of the current economic crisis
instead of just chasing after shadows and coursing more problems for the
nation.
He said: “Those who manage the nation’s economy cannot afford to
chase shadows while the economy is in the doldrums. What Nigerians
expect, and deserve, is the introduction of fiscal and monetary policies
that will create jobs, fix healthcare and infrastructure, and stimulate
the economy.”
