Recession ends only when Nigerians can eat three times a day—Atiku

Ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar took a swipe at the news of Nigeria's exit of the recession, saying until every Nigerian can eat three square meals daily with little efforts, it is not yet time for celebration. Atiku said this in a series of tweets via his verified Twitter handle.

He had tweeted, "As a Nigerian, investor and employer of labour, the news of Nigeria's official emergence from the recession is most welcome.

"The news is surely a boost for Nigeria - it tells investors, local and foreign, that our economy is worth investing in. "While we rejoice, it's also important to recognise that economic weakness at the bottom of the pyramid remains. "When all Nigerians can eat three square meals, that's when the real recession ends.
