OVERVIEW OF: Some Public Commentators Make Baseless Assertions – Osinbajo
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Friday regretted that some public commentators make baseless assertions on the economy.
He, therefore, stressed the need for academics to be more involved in conversations that would deepen public knowledge and understanding of the economy.
According to a statement by his spokesman, Laolu Akande, the Vice President spoke in his keynote at the 61st annual conference of the Nigerian Economic Society with the theme, ‘African Continental Free Trade Area in post COVID-19 era: What next for Nigeria?’
Akande’s statement was titled, ‘Africa should use AfCFTA as template for trade negotiations with rest of the world, says Osinbajo.’
He quoted Osinbajo as calling on members of NES to be more engaged in public policy debates.
He said,
“I find it every often that some public commentators make assertions that have no basis in economic theory or practice, and because they dominate the public space, they contribute to public misunderstanding of economic principles and their application to public policy.
“Some of you should take up the gauntlet and help to shape an informed and reasoned national discourse on the economy.”
Osinbajo noted that as African countries brace up for the implementation of AfCFTA agreement, efforts must be made to ensure that trade negotiations with the rest of the world are based on the free trade agreement rather than deals separately endorsed by regional economic blocs.
This, he said, was one of the ways by which the continent could maximise the benefits of the agreement.
