Speaking on the 2024 economic outlook, Kansagra, said it is mixed with indications of recovery and potential risks.
He said: ”Nigeria’s economy is projected to expand by 2.6 percent, driven by the resumption of oil and gas activities, better business climate and economic diversification. However, the economic performance is susceptible to downside risks, such as oil price volatility and policy reforms.
