Buhari however appreciated the outstanding support and guidance provided by the PEAC which he described as a tutorial.
While making a presentation to the President, the PEAC commended the administration for implementing several of its recommendations, even as it presented the government with a number of tough choices to make in order to put the country’s economy on a higher growth path.
The Chairman of PEAC, Doyin Salami, who led the presentation, specifically expressed delight with the ongoing review of the Medium Term Expenditure Framework MTEF, and the 2020 Budget in view of the disruptions caused by COVID-19 as well as the adjustment of the exchange rate of the Naira.
