Nigerian program stimulates economy

The ongoing massive capital investment program by the Nigerian government is helping the country get out of a recession gradually, a senior official said. Speaking at a forum in Abuja, the nation’s capital city, Accountant-General of the Federation of Nigeria Idris Ahmed, said the recent announcement by the International Monetary Fund that Nigeria had the biggest economy in Africa demonstrated the resilience of the economy. “The IMF rating confirms the resilience of our economy and the resilience of Nigerians in terms of coming out of this recession,” he added.
