Senator Ben Murray-Bruce
The Senator representing Bayelsa East constituency also known as #thecommonsense senator, Ben Murray-Bruce has given his support to president Muhammadu Buhari to go ahead with overnight development of Nigeria as he has provided ways Nigeria can achieve that feat.
He made the comments on Wednesday at the Senate, while contributing to the debate on Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).
He said Nigeria has the capacity to grow and develop but the task ahead is a serious one that does not need beating around the bush.
He said the problems must be tackled by using the most proactive methods. He said if the problem can be tackled by borrowing money, then the Federal Government must go ahead to borrow the amount that will quickly make the much needed impact.
”They way we grow and develop does not help anyone. We have a big problem and we are solving it in a mickey-mouse way.”
“We must take a position and develop this economy. If we want to borrow N50trn, then borrow N50trn and develop Nigeria overnight. Borrowing 2trn, 1trn and half a trillion does not solve the problem.
“Nigeria has the capacity to grow. We have the resilience to grow. Nigerians are the most hard-working people in the whole of Africa,” he said.
