“We will boost local production and check the importation of goods and services that can be sourced locally. These and many more are the issues putting pressure on our currency.
“You wake up every day to discover that the value of foreign currency the previous day was better than today. This is what a responsible government must address; otherwise, it will be difficult to see an end to the economic crisis that we are in today.”
Regarding his views on the restructuring of the nation, Kwankwaso stated that he will work closely with the National Assembly and many community stakeholders to initiate the restructuring process from the bottom up.
He implied that his soon-to-be-unveiled plan would represent a radical break from the current scenario in the country, with an emphasis on the people and community engagement in governance, and that Nigeria must retrace her ways to make things right.
