Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar says recession cannot be said to have ended until all Nigerians can afford three square meals.
He said this in reaction to the news that Nigeria had exited recession.
On Tuesday, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced that the country’s economy grew by 0.55% after five negative outlooks.
According to the gross domestic product report released by NBS on Monday, the economy recorded a positive growth after five consecutive quarters of contractions.
Abubakar, who took to Twitter, expressed delight but said there is more work to be done “because inflation is still high”.
He, therefore, called a for continuous effort to expand economic opportunities for all Nigerians.
