He delivered UNILAG’s convocation lecture with the theme, “Nigeria Rising: The Path to ProsperiHe said, “We restored medium-term planning with the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan which served as a useful loadstone in improving macroeconomic performance, boosting the real sector of the economy and building infrastructure.
“We have very clear objectives. As you know, the problem of our country is not the planning or designing of great projects, it is in the actual implementation. We are fortunate that Muhammadu Buhari is not an orator, he is a doer.” The Chairman on the occasion, Chief Arthur Mbanefo, during his address said the lecture was special because it marked the significant homecoming for the vice president.
