Top government officials and heads of parastatals of the Ministry of Finance were at the news conference on the ministry’s performance in 2014.
The Minister of Finance listed key achievements of the government in terms of job creation, foreign and local debt sustainability, as well as budget implementation.
All of these, she said, have contributed to the nation’s macro economic stability than its perceived state of being broke.
Another issue which the Minister of Finance highlighted is the efforts by the government to finance the real sectors to improve the lives of the ordinary Nigerians.
She announced that 2.4trillion naira has been allocated for the development of the real sector.
Building social safety nets, creating more job creation and addressing issues of infrastructural challenge are some of the areas the Federal Government hopes to prioritise in the days ahead, and this Mrs Okonjo-Iweala said would be beneficial to the ordinary Nigerian.
