ourselves in our current situation. I assure all Nigerians that the grim
economic situations are passing phase which all societies go through.”

security of this nation from any quarters.”
“Our security situation is improving, not only in the north

policies as well as the monetary policies being implemented by the CBN
will lead to the revitalization of the industries and steady growth in
significant sectors of the economy.

yielding results as noted by the governor that for the first time since
Boko Haram insurgency began in the northeast seven years ago, the people
