The
Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has assured Nigerians that despite the suspension
of Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the federal government
would remain resolute in the management of the nation’s economy.
The
minister, who made this known to newsmen in Abuja yesterday, also
stated that the government would continue the pursuit of macro-economic
stability, which has become the hallmark of the present administration.
“It
is the macro-economic stability we maintained that has enabled us to
continue to transform the different sectors of the economy, and that
will not change,” she said. “We will maintain tight fiscal policy. We
expect a continuation of the tight monetary policy that has been on
at the central bank.”
She therefore urged market participants to carry on with businesses without fear.
