Former House of Representatives Speaker, Dimeji Bankole, has declared that four years will not be sufficient for President Muhammadu Buhari to fix the nation’s poor economy.
Bankole, who averred that Buhari was currently doing a thankless job, said any economic reform that would positively transform a nation cannot be designed and executed by a government within a term of four years.
He spoke in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State while delivering the fifth anniversary lecture of Ijebu News Xtra magazine published by a celebrity journalist, Dayo Rufai.
The lecture titled “Ogun State: Stimulating youth entrepreneurship potential in recessive economy,” was chaired by a oil and gas magnate, Engr. Femi Omotayo.
In his presentation, Bankole noted that the answer to the present recession in Nigeria is not in any economics textbook but lies in the willingness of the citizens to make the right sacrifices.
The former Speaker bemoaned the rate of inequality and unemployment in the country, saying the social structure was getting beyond control.
