Governor of Bauchi State Bala Mohammed has confronted the World Bank over the claims that a reversal of the federal government’s current economic reforms will spell doom for the country.
World Bank Country Director Ndiame Diop advised Nigerians not to oppose the current reforms at the launch of the Nigerian Development Update (NDU) in Abuja.
Diop says while the reforms might be challenging, they are crucial for the nation’s long-term stability.
However, Mohammed expressed a contrary view of the ongoing reforms, asking the Federal Government to review them since they are not working, saying that people are hungry and that people of his status face the threat of being lynched.
