Managing Director of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine Lagarde, arrived Nigeria yesterday Monday
January 4th to begin a four-day visit to the country which is aimed at
fostering a strong relationship with Nigeria and other African member countries
as well as to discuss Nigeria's economic matters with President Buhari.
A statement from Lagarde reads in part
“I look forward to productive
meetings with President Buhari and his colleagues as they address important
economic challenges, most importantly the impact of low oil prices. Nigeria is
working hard to improve its business environment, promote opportunities for
growth in the private sector, and strengthen social cohesion, all areas where
the government has an important role to play. The visit to Nigeria will provide
an opportunity to strengthen the Fund’s partnership with the largest economy in
sub-Saharan Africa,”
She will also
be visiting Cameroon after her stay in Nigeria.
