He also says the government needs to show more political willpower to be in a better position to tackle economic recession.

Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has unveiled what President Buhari must do to end economic recession.

“I think the real challenge for us is now for us to have the political will in terms of selling some assets,” Dangote said.

“I think it’s an easier route than the IMF (International Monetary Fund) or the World Bank to borrow money, because what you need to do is actually to beef up the reserves.”

Dangote dropped the advice just before Nigeria’s credit rating was downgraded to B from B+ by S&P Global Ratings on Friday, September 16.

“Nigeria’s economy has weakened more than we expected owing to a marked contraction in oil production, a restrictive foreign exchange regime and delayed fiscal stimulus,” S&P said in a report on the downgrade.
