Take Responsibility, Revive The Economy – Ooni Of Ife Charges FG

Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife, has urged the Federal Government to take responsibility and introduce policies that will help the nation recover from the current economic recession being faced in the country.

The Ooni of Ife gave the charge in his Christmas/New Year message issued by his Director of Media and Public Affairs, Moses Olafare.

“We started this year 2020 with a lot of hopes and aspirations, particularly on the country getting it right economically towards the prosperity of the entire citizenry, but unfortunately the COVID-19 pandemic crept in, sinking the economy in another recession. It has happened this way, and the only way out is for the government to take responsibility,” said the monarch.

“Government policies must be executed in a way that the standard of living of the citizens, particularly the youths is upgraded which will, in turn, reduce the crime rate in the country.”

Oba Ogunwusi said the country needs a clear economic policy to take it out of recession and revive the economy.
