Define Your Economic Policy Direction - British Expert Advises Buhari

A British financial expert, Mr Gerard Lyons, has advised the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to come up with a clear economic policy direction to help international investors take investment decisions on Nigeria.

Mr Lyons gave the advice on Monday while delivering the keynote address at the African Pensions Summit in Abuja. He urged the government to invest
part of the nation’s almost N5 trillion pool of funds in infrastructure, especially energy, roads and rail lines.

He noted that the lack of clarity about the vision and  economic policy direction of the government was not good for the country.

Pointing out that a great vision is the strength of an economy, he said that the delay in appointing key government officials was a source of worry for international investors.
