We’re inheriting Nigeria’s worst economy in history – VP Elect, Yemi Osinbajo

The Vice President-elect, Prof. Yomi Osinbajo, on Wednesday said Nigeria’s economy is in its worst shape in history.
He put the nation’s local and international debt profile at US$60billion with a 2015 debt serving bill of N953.6billion, representing 21 per cent of the 2015 budget.

Osinbajo gave these statistics in his remarks at the opening of a 2-day Policy Dialogue on the Implementation of the Agenda for Change, which began in Abuja on Wednesday.

According to him, the nation’s dwindling oil revenues has made it difficult for two thirds of Nigeria’s  36 states to pay salaries.
