According to him, the country has overcome the recession while most countries that Nigerians are craving to run to are still grappling with economic and social issues worst than that of Nigeria.

He said, “Nigeria has more than enough resources that can cater for our needs but it is left for every one of us to tap from any these abundant resources.
