President Muhammadu Buhari, Monday, lamented the widespread inequality in Nigeria, stating that a significant proportion of the country’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few Nigerians.
Speaking in Abuja, at the opening session of the 25th Nigerian Economic Summit, NES, Buhari disclosed that these few wealthy Nigerians are based in only five states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
He, however, noted that the Federal Government was putting in place measures to promote inclusiveness, noting that over the last four years, the government had been focused on lifting a large percentage of Nigerians out of poverty, uplift the disadvantaged and encourage inclusivity.
