Spokesman to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, has told President Muhammadu Buhari that he (Okupe) is available to help revive the economy.
Okupe, who served Jonathan as his Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, said through his Facebook post on Monday that the failing price of crude oil in the international market has threatened the country’s economy, being the major source of income for Nigeria.
According to him, “The danger signal here is clear and profound. The implication of this price regime is that we begin to lose $4-$2 USD for every barrel of crude oil we produce. It is pertinent to state clearly here that this ominous situation is totally out of the control of the present administration.
“But because we are all stakeholders in the Nigerian project and also for the fact that any external threat to the survival or interest of Nigeria calls for a bipartisan cooperation, it becomes imperative that we all put all heads together to find a solution.”
He further said, “The deficit in the budget must be reduced substantially while the bench mark is brought lower to between $17 & $20 USD.”
