Worried by the declining
 state of the Nigerian economy, Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, has called on President

 Buhari to immediately convene an economic summit where Nigerians can brainstorm
 on how to get the country out of it. Soyinka said this during a courtesy call to the
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed in Abuja yesterday February 18th.



"I agree with those who say the economy is bad. It is obvious and it is so bad. I th
ink the
Presidency should call an emergency economic conference where experts will be

 enlightened. We really need an emergency economic conference, bringing experts
together to march the nation forward. I think the economy is not encouraging.
Quite frankly, I think most economists will agree with this.”he said
