It has been unbalanced because it was built on the flawed foundation of over-reliance on revenues from the exploitation of oil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reforms we have initiated are intended to create a stronger, better foundation for future growth. There is no doubt the reforms have occasioned hardship. Yet, they are necessary repairs required to fix the economy over the long run so that everyone has access to economic opportunity, fair pay and compensation for his endeavour and labour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we continue to reform the economy, I shall always listen to the people and will never turn my back on you. In this spirit, we have negotiated in good faith and with open arms with organized labour on a new national minimum wage. We shall soon send an executive bill to the National Assembly to enshrine what has been agreed upon as part of our law for the next five years or less,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>June 12: Nigeria\u2019s economy unbalanced, needs reform \u2013 Tinubu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Bola Tinubu has said that Nigeria\u2019s economy has been unstable and urgently requires reforms that have been delayed for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":36848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,466],"tags":[17637,8,19,16644,516,180,1505,14859,26,17690],"class_list":["post-36847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-tinubu","tag-17637","tag-akwa-ibom","tag-economy","tag-june","tag-needs","tag-news","tag-nigerias","tag-reform","tag-tinubu","tag-unbalanced"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
