Speaking after a closed-door meeting with the President at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday, Okonjo-Iweala noted that Tinubu deserved comendation for his efforts so far .
She harped on the need for the President Tinubu’s led administration to prioritise measures that would stimulate growth.
Okonjo-Iweala, who was at the villa to brief President Tinubu on the Women Exporters Fund for 146 Nigerian businesswomen, advocates robust social safety measures to cushion the effects of ongoing reforms on Nigerians.
