President Buhari Appoints Dr. Salami Chief Economic Adviser

 With less than sixteen months to the end of his tenure, President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Dr. DOYIN SALAMI to serve as his first Chief Economic Adviser.
  
The administration has witnessed two recessions in less than seven years of its reign with the country taking a bottom position in key economic indices – unemployment and inflation among many others.
   
The administration has also been consistently knocked for its lacklustre management of the economy and dreary outputs of its policies, though the administration has consistently claimed to have inherited a "dying" economy.   
   
However, all along, the office of the Chief Economic Adviser to the President had remained unoccupied. But two years ago, Salami, 59, a frontline economic scholar, was picked to head a hurriedly-inaugurated Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC), which many said was established without reference to the National Economic Council (NEC) headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

FG Asked To Make Life Easy For Nigerians In 2022

The Bishop of Ijesa North Anglican Diocese, Ijebu-Jesa, Osun State, Isaac Oluyamo, has called on the federal and state government to listen to Nigerians and make life easy for them in the new year.

This was contained in the new year message of the clergy obtained in Osogbo.

Oluyamo, who decried high rate insecurity in the country, however, urged Nigerians to be grateful to God for seeing them through the year 2021.

He also charged the federal government to ensure food sufficiency for people and meet their other basic needs to rekindle the hope of Nigerians in the country.

The message read in parts, “As we usher in a New Year, it should be the beginning of a new dawn. We appeal to the Police Force to be civil in every situation. There should be no indiscriminate arrest or treatment that threatens society.

“We also appeal to the Federal Government to make life easy for us this year 2022. Governments at the Federal, State and Local levels should have our best interest at heart. They should listen to us and the voice of reason to make life easy in 2022.

“There should be no inflation. People are hungry – provide food. People are homeless on the streets – provide shelter. People are unemployed – provide jobs. Do things that will kindle our hope in this country. If the hopeless and helpless cry, God hears them.”
