“The setting up a Council of Economic Advisors is in itself one of the features of the American Presidential system which we copied. Strong membership& that’s really great. I hope the first thing they do is tell the President how he mismanaged the Economy in the last 4 years,” she wrote.
The president’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, announced the council in a statement on Monday.
