Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, says the federal government should go ahead and borrow the required amount needed for the ‘overnight’ development of Nigeria.
Murray-Bruce said Nigeria’s problem is too gargantuan to solve with baby steps, while advising President Muhammadu Buhari to borrow any amount needed to quickly develop the country.
The Senator representing Bayelsa East constituency made the comments on Wednesday at the Senate, while contributing to the debate on Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).
”They way we grow and develop does not help anyone. We have a big problem and we are solving it in a mickey-mouse way.”
“We must take a position and develop this economy. If we want to borrow N50trn, then borrow N50trn and develop Nigeria overnight. Borrowing 2trn, 1trn and half a trillion does not solve the problem.
“Nigeria has the capacity to grow. We have the resilience to grow. Nigerians are the most hard-working people in the whole of Africa.”
