The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, has said that although 2015 has so far been a tough year for Nigerians, 2016 would be tougher. Adesina, according to a post on his Facebook page on Tuesday, the presidential spokesman argued that as much as the dwindling oil price continues, things would be tougher especially in the early part of the new year.
“I agree that 2015 has been a tough year, but then it’s like 2016 would still be tougher, at least in the early part of that year. We have been running a mono-product economy based on oil, and as long as oil prices remain down, things will be tough,” he said.
Adesina however assured Nigerians that with President Muhammadu Buhari in the saddle, Nigeria is in good hands.
