Nigeria’s ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has said the grading of Nigeria as the third fastest-growing economy for 2015 after China and Qatar by the CNNMoney, a business analysis programme, is an attestation to the prudent management of the Nigerian economy by the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration, describing it as a verdict of a winning party.
This was contained in a statement by the national publicity secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, yesterday.
According to Metuh, the assessment, coming from the world leading media institution is a confirmation of an earlier evaluation by other international institutions that proclaimed a thriving performance and a bright future for our economy, adding that it was another sign that Nigeria is safe and well-led under the PDP.
“The grading by the CNNMoney is another witness to the reality of positive changes brought to all sectors of the national life and whose cumulative impact formed a consistent growth driver for the economy. Here again is the reality of the global confidence in the vivacity of Nigeria as Africa’s largest economy.
“For those in opposition, who for expediency of politics, found it convenient to deny what is as clear as daylight and even denounce what ought to be applauded, the CNN verdict is a reminder once more that constructive criticism is the mettle of credible opposition.
“The tremendous progress that Nigeria made in the socio-political and economic sphere under our great party has continued to receive commendation and popular acclaim locally and internationally. The message to all Nigerians, therefore, is to keep hope alive; that things can only get better”, the PDP said.
