Jonathan assures on economic growth

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday in Abuja reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the implementation of all reforms necessary for accelerated economic growth, job creation and poverty alleviation in Nigeria.
Jonathan told the visiting World Bank Vice President for Africa, Mr. Mouktar Diop, in his office that though it was not easy to undertake certain reforms in an intensely political environment, he would continue to lead the Federal Government towards evolving and implementing policies that would assure sustainable development and long-term wellbeing of the nation.
Acknowledging Diop’s commendation of his administration’s stewardship of the Nigerian economy, the President said that with the continued support of the World Bank, other international institutions and investors, the Federal Government would achieve an even higher growth rate for the national economy.
