Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday lamented the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nation’s economy, saying only a few Nigerians can now afford to pay taxes.
Osinbajo said this in a message he sent to the 11th Synod of the Church of Nigeria , Abuja Diocese, which started on Saturday at St James’ Church, Asokoro, Abuja.
The Vice President noted that with the pandemic, Nigeria’s economy faces its worst period in history. “We are in the midst of the greatest economic slump in history; every region of the world is experiencing an unprecedented slowdown in growth. “Suddenly, all we took for granted, from air travel to hugs and even handshakes, have become neither safe nor advisable.
