Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II, Ooni of Ife, has urged the Nigerian government to come up with recovery plans capable of improving the economy of the country.
The
first-class monarch said this in his Christmas/New Year message issued by his
Director of Media and Public Affairs, Moses Olafare, and titled ‘Ooni charges
FG on economic recovery plan as he rejoices with Christians, says COVID-19
second wave real’.
Ooni, a
Co-chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria, said, “We
started this year 2020 with a lot of hopes and aspirations, particularly on the
country getting it right economically towards the prosperity of the entire
citizenry, but unfortunately the COVID-19 pandemic crept in, sinking the
economy in another recession. It has happened this way, and the only way out is
for the government to take responsibility.
“Government
policies must be executed in a way that the standard of living of the citizens,
particularly the youths is upgraded which will, in turn, reduce the crime rate
in the country.”
The monarch
said the country needs a clear economic policy to take it out of recession and
revive the economy.
