Key highlights according to him was that the economy was gradually seeing a rebound with current growth rate pegged at 3.1% for the first quarter of the year.
He noted that other issues of the increasing rate of piracy and terrorism along the country’s northern borders and on the Gulf of Guinea were also critically analyzed.
