He pointed to a meeting convened to address pressing issues such as the foreign exchange crisis, where he alleged Tinubu failed to present concrete policy steps to address the challenges facing the economy.<\/p>\n<p>Atiku lambasted the administration&#8217;s handling of the foreign exchange market, asserting that its policies have only served to enrich a select few while exacerbating the suffering of ordinary Nigerians. He emphasized the need for comprehensive reforms to streamline the exchange rate system and foster economic stability.<\/p>\n<p>The former vice president outlined a series of policy prescriptions aimed at rescuing the economy from its current predicament, including the elimination of multiple exchange rate windows and the adoption of a managed floating exchange rate system. Atiku criticized what he perceived as hasty and ill-conceived measures by the Tinubu administration, calling for more prudent and consultative approaches to economic management.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Atiku underscored the importance of addressing systemic issues such as corruption and poorly negotiated foreign loans, which he argued have further undermined the country&#8217;s economic prospects. He called on the government to heed sound counsel and prioritize the welfare of Nigerians in its policy decisions.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Atiku expressed optimism that with the adoption of more prudent and inclusive economic policies, Nigeria could begin to chart a path towards sustainable growth and development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 -ml-1 visible\"><button class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 rounded-md p-1 text-xs text-token-text-tertiary hover:text-token-text-primary md:invisible md:group-hover:visible md:group-[.final-completion]:visible\"><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 text-xs\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"cursor-pointer absolute z-10 rounded-full bg-clip-padding border text-token-text-secondary border-token-border-light right-1\/2 bg-token-main-surface-primary bottom-5\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full pt-2 md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:w-[calc(100%-.5rem)]\">\n<form class=\"stretch mx-2 flex flex-row gap-3 last:mb-2 md:mx-4 md:last:mb-6 lg:mx-auto lg:max-w-2xl xl:max-w-3xl\">\n<div class=\"relative flex h-full flex-1 items-stretch md:flex-col\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full items-center\">\n<div class=\"overflow-hidden [&amp;:has(textarea:focus)]:border-token-border-xheavy [&amp;:has(textarea:focus)]:shadow-[0_2px_6px_rgba(0,0,0,.05)] flex flex-col w-full dark:border-token-border-heavy flex-grow relative border border-token-border-heavy dark:text-white rounded-2xl bg-token-main-surface-primary\">\n<div data-grammarly-part=\"button\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"amkYk\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"ptGJG\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has voiced scathing criticism of the economic policies under President Bola Tinubu&#8217;s administration, expressing concern over exacerbating poverty and a lack of innovative solutions to address Nigeria&#8217;s economic woes.
