Renowned economist Bismarck Rewane expressed that the 2024 budget proposed by Tinubu won’t resonate with Nigerians if the cost of living remains high. In an interview, Rewane emphasized that Nigerians prioritize the reduction in prices of essential goods over scrutinizing budgetary numbers. He underscored the necessity for the budget to start positively affecting people’s lives within the next six months.
During an appearance on the Channels Television Programme Business Morning on Thursday, November 30, 2023, Rewane highlighted that Nigerians are more concerned about the prices of staple items like rice, bread, and garri rather than intricacies within the budgetary figures.
