President Muhammadu Buhari has been called upon to stimulate economic activities and reverse the current negative growth of the country's GDP.
Specifically, the Centre for Social Justice, CSJ on Thursday urged Buhari to as a matter of urgency release funds for investment into capital projects to stimulate economic activities.
A statement released in Abuja by CSJ's Lead Director, Mr Eze Onyekpere called President Buhari's attention to the recent warning by the governor of the Central Bank that the economy is at risk of going into recession by 2016 if proactive measures were not taken.
The apex bank's governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele had on Tuesday at the Monetary Policy Committee meeting in Abuja said that the economy had remained fragile as a result of many factors.
Consequently, the CSJ has called on President Buhari to constitute his economic team without further delay.
The group also called on Buhari to quickly unveil his economic agenda as "public and private stakeholders cannot continue groping in the dark and imagining the content of the government’s economic agenda.”
