President Muhammadu Buhari has spoken up about Nigeria’s current economic situation, stating that Nigeria is learning the hard way.
The president maintained that his government was working persistently to ameliorate the challenges faced by the Nigerian economy within a short period
He stated this when he received a Special Envoy from the President of Islamic Republic of Iran at the State House, Mohammad Javad Zarif.
He said that the Iranian economy remained an inspiration for Nigeria in the deployment of technology to harness and export gas, grow food for the populace and promote entrepreneurship in education.
“The progress made by Iran within a short period of 30 years is really commendable. Within the period, you have been able to harness gas flaring, and you are now exporting. You have recorded strides in security, manufacturing, agriculture and technology.
“You have also achieved a lot in nuclear research. I must also congratulate you for successfully negotiating with America and the European countries on the development of your nuclear energy.
“In Nigeria, we are learning. We are learning the hard way through hardship, and we are learning very quickly on how to explore other sectors of the economy like gas, solid minerals and agriculture for growth.
“We are grateful for your support and cooperation in opening up the Nigerian economy for diversification,’’ he said.
