Nigeria is going through a very serious economic surgery- APC governors

-

Governors of the All Progressive Congress after arising from a meeting with President Buhari at the State House today, has described Nigeria as a sick patient going through a serious economic surgery. A statement by the governors read  “There is no surgery that is not painful. 

Nigeria is going through a very serious economic surgery and that is the pains we are experiencing. We share the pains of Nigerians, every human being must feel it. We also feel what they are going through but we are asking for a little patience. Let us do things the right way and do it once and for all.

 “I am sure that by next year, you will begin to see changes, the price of rice will drop, prices of dollars will begin to stabilize and we will see a lot of challenges. 

But at this painful moment, nobody likes it. “It is like a woman in the labour room, when she is in the labour room there is no joy but she has to pass through that moment and that moment she doesn’t wear her high heel shoes, no makeup, no champagne, no party she is going through a process but shortly after that process joy cometh once she sees the child. So Nigerians should bear with us as a government.

Trade tensions spiked between Washington and Ottawa on Tuesday as President Donald Trump accused Canada of being "very rough" on America and threatened to retaliate against restrictions on US dairy products. Trump also touted his administration's surprise decision late Monday to rekindle an old trade conflict with America's second-largest trading partner by slapping new tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber. "People don't realize, Canada has been very rough on the United States. Everyone thinks of Canada of being nice but they've outsmarted our politicians for many years," Trump told a group of farmers at the White House.  He said Canada was hurting American dairy farmers near the border, from Wisconsin to New York, by blocking dairy exports "and we're not going to put up with it." Trump's aggressive comments echoed a tweet he sent earlier in the day, just hours after the Commerce Department announced it was imp
