Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has attributed the current economic
recession in the country to the activities of various militant groups in
the Niger Delta region. Osinbajo said this while speaking at the
Presidential Quarterly Business Forum at the State House, Abuja
yesterday September 19th.
“It is important for us to understand the nature of this recession in
which we have found ourselves. In discussing this issue of recession
there is tendency for people to generalize. A lot depends on what sort
of recession and how we got here. If we did not have vandalization in
the Niger Delta as we are currently suffering, we will not have this
recession today. Moreover in looking at the solutions, we should try to
focus on the type of problem we have and what instigated it. Then we can
begin to come up with better solutions” he said
