Nigeria’s Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has said discipline, prudent management of resources and exploration of neglected mineral resources are the ingredients Nigeria needs to revamp its ailing economy. Saraki made this known in a statement to mark this year’s Democracy Day, signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu. According to him, “What the country needs to overcome the situation are discipline, prudent management of her resources and and exploration of hitherto neglected areas in creating national wealth. I can assure our people that the present economic problem is a temporary challenge. We will all be happy very soon. It is for this reason that, as I congratulate our people on this occasion of Democracy Day, I call on them to continue to pray for the government and support all efforts aimed at ensuring that we all reap the dividends of democracy. We should remember that tough times do not last but tough people do. God bless Nigeria; God bless Nigerians.”
