The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, has assured that notwithstanding the pains of the harsh economic realities and the surging prices of food and other commodities, Nigerians will soon smile again.
Edun said that the economy would continue to soar higher, noting that what is best for the country and eases the pains of Nigerians is foremost in the mind of President Bola Tinubu.
The minister disclosed this while speaking at the burial of Dr Onaolapo Soleye, former Finance Minister, held at Owu Baptist Church, Abeokuta, on Friday.
This is just as Governor Dapo Abiodun has equally promised to immortalise the late minister to appreciate his contributions to the economic development of the nation.
Soleye, a former minister during the military regime of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), died at 90 last November.
Edun said, “What is good for Nigeria is what is uppermost in our minds, not what the IMF or any other foreign organisation thinks.
“By God’s grace, under the able leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we will move forward with this economy, and Nigerians will smile again.”
