Diversifying the Economy as a way of growing the wealth of the Nation is no doubt one of the best options of this administration. Many have been saying that over reliant on oil has brought the Nigerian economy to its knees. And so when the Ooni of Ife came calling on President Muhammadu Buhari at the Villa he didn’t fall short of expressing his support for diversification.
Since ascending the throne of his forefathers, the Ooni of Ife has been moving round the country to hold meetings with different traditional rulers and leaders of government. After a closed door meeting with President Buhari, the Ooni of Ife says considering the fall of oil prices, diversifying the nation’s economy will not be a misplaced priority.
He maintains that Nigeria should cashing into upsurge in the price of cocoa by investing in agriculture to boost the National Economy. Also, President Buhari had earlier met with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Adeboye.
