Professor of economics, Professor Pat Utomi, has described the year 2021 as very challenging time for Nigeria.
Professor Utomi says insecurity, inflation, lack of trust in the polity, and ineffective leadership were some of the problems that made the past year difficult.
However; the Chairman of the National Consultative Forum said there is hope for a turnaround for the country, which requires a determined leadership.
On the economic challenges in Nigeria; Professor Pat Utomi said a national economic strategy would be required to drive the desired change.
