Managing Director of the International Monetary
Fund (IMF), Christine Lagarde, arrived Nigeria
yesterday Monday January 4th to begin a four-
day visit to the country which is aimed at
fostering a strong relationship with Nigeria and
other African member countries as well as to
discuss Nigeria's economic matters with
President Buhari.
A statement from Lagarde reads in part
“I look forward to productive meetings with
President Buhari and his colleagues as they
address important economic challenges,
most importantly the impact of low oil
prices. Nigeria is working hard to improve
its business environment, promote
opportunities for growth in the private
sector, and strengthen social cohesion, all
areas where the government has an
important role to play. The visit to Nigeria
will provide an opportunity to strengthen
the Fund’s partnership with the largest
economy in sub-Saharan Africa,”
She will also be visiting Cameroon after her stay
in Nigeria.
