Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has advocated stronger oversight, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, for sustainable growth, saying that the President was working to address Nigeria’s public debt through a non-oil revenue drive.
Tajudeen said this while delivering his address at the opening of the 11th Annual Conference and General Assembly of the West Africa Association of Public Accounts Committees, WAAPAC, in Abuja on Monday.
He says that if Africa is to grow stronger, the countries must not only negotiate fairer terms of borrowing but also rethink their dependence on external finance.
Meanwhile opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and African Democratic Congress, ADC, has disagreed that the President is managing the country’s public debt in the right direction.
