The situation is worrisome\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n<p>With an already struggling Nigerian economy, the development indicates more misery for Africa\u2019s largest economy, with over 200 million people.<\/p>\n<p>Rising inflation, debt management and a forex crisis are headaches for the barely four-months-old administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun and the new Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Olayemi Cardoso, certainly have a lot of work to do on the country\u2019s economy to halt an impending poverty crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with DAILY POST, a popular economist and former President and Chairman of the Council of Chartered Institute of Bankers, Prof Segun Ajibola, said inflation remains a monster the Tinubu Government must tackle.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Nigeria\u2019s inflation is cost-induced, and measures other than monetary policies should be considered as a solution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA holistic package of policies is more desirable to tackle cost overruns being triggered by non-monetary factors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInflation is a hydra-headed problem and, in the words of former President Nixon of the US, the world\u2019s No.1 enemy. It is one monster that is not easy to tame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem of inflation in Nigeria is simply cost-induced. I do not believe monetary measures alone can solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cost of production has increased because of the rise in energy costs and the naira exchange rate, among others. Factories depend on imported raw materials and spares, and importers of consumables are doing so at current exchange rates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe farmers are paying more for farm inputs and transport costs. All of them are, as much as they can, pass the incremental costs to the consumers, which is fuelling inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMonetary management will be productive if a rise in aggregate demand induces inflation. Today, the real value of money in Nigerians\u2019 hands has decreased. Likewise, the disposable income of the populace. Attempting contractionary monetary policy may not, therefore, address the current challenges\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Former president of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, Mazi Okechukwu Unegbu said inflation will only be tackled if the country looks inward by using its resources to tackle her problems, including reducing the cost of governance and corruption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no way the inflation in the country will be controlled unless we look inward to use our resources to take care of our problems. The cost of governance must be reduced drastically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine buying an SUV for members of the House of Representatives in the face of our borrowing $1.5 billion to support the budget. It does not make sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother point is that the last administration stole so much money; we must go after them and recover what was stolen to help the economy. Once we are serious about fighting looters, I believe Nigeria\u2019s economy will improve, and inflation will be tamed\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Dr Muda Yusuf, the Director at the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, said that CPPE high energy must be tackled to tame Nigeria\u2019s rising inflation.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, it will be difficult to tame inflation without fixing the power sector.<\/p>\n<p>He called on Tinubu\u2019s administration to declare an emergency in the country\u2019s power and energy sectors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe effects of high energy costs are devastating. We need a state of emergency declaration in the energy and power sectors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be very difficult to tame inflation if we do not fix power, logistics and forex. Regrettably, there are no quick fixes in these areas. But it is important to prioritize these issues and drive accelerated progress with the right strategies\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Idakolo Gbolade, Chief Executive Officer of SD &amp; D Capital Management, said the Government needs to initiate urgent policy measures to reduce the sufferings of Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe factors affecting inflationary trends are still subsisting, and the new management team of CBN are just shaping their policy direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government revenue is still low, the Federal Government still has budget deficits that need a $1.5 billion IMF loan to bridge, and the Naira is still experiencing a free fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Federal Government needs to implement its policies quickly from both monetary and fiscal sides and create confidence in the economy. The Government needs to increase revenue urgently and negotiate loan repayment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to increase the foreign reserves significantly to stabilize the Naira. The Government\u2019s policies can stem inflation in the long run, but in the immediate, critical measures need to be put in place to save the economy and reduce the suffering of the people\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
