Nigerian nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has urged on President Muhammadu Buhari to call for an emergency economic conference as a way to tackle the nation’s economic problems.

”Recovery is going to take quite a while…the President should call an emergency economic conference, with experts to be invited. Consumers, producers, labour unions, university experts, professors, etc.

”I think we really need an emergency economic conference, a rescue operation bringing as many heads as possible together to plot the way forward.”

The Nobel laureate made these comments to Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, during a visit to the minister’s Abuja offices on Thursday.
