Less than a week, after Daily Trust Board of Economist, called for the appointment of a Core Economist, as a Special adviser, into the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget & National Planning.

Basically, to spearhead the National Planning department of the ministry, President has appointed, Dr. Sarah Alade, who was the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria & indeed, superintended the Economic Policy Department of the Apex bank.

Generally, economic policies are products of social sciences, which require patience, resolve & tenacity of vision, to apply them, not to inflict pain, rather, to redirect the society, towards a certain goal.

In the case of Nigeria, to wean the society, from consumption mindset, into productivity setting, and always keeping a close watch on inflationary trends, while tolerating some little rise, in so far as, it does not create despondency environment, thus, defeating the mission, for which the policy is formulated.

This is purely why the Nigerian border is partially closed, to ensure all the Bilateral & Multilateral Protocols of ECOWAS are observed & respected by the Nigerian neighbours, while setting a clear direction for the Nigerian Economy.
