Finance Minister: Nigeria Has Revenue Problem Not Debt Crisis

Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, has said that contrary to speculations, the country is not in debt crisis, but admitted that it has revenue generation problem.

Ahmed stated: “What we have is a revenue problem, our revenue performance by half year is 58 per cent. So, we have designed this Strategic Revenue Growth Initiative early this year which has three thematic areas.” The minister therefore called on Nigerians to support the present administration in solving Nigeria’s revenue generation problem, adding that though some reforms are tough, some actions must be taken.

He said that what the National Assembly seeks is to get a buyi-in from all stakeholders, stressing that he believed nobody is a fountain of knowledge, and even though the National Assembly is given full authority by the constitution to appropriate, they can’t do it alone.
