Muslims group to Fed Govt: tackle economic recession
By Our Reporter On Jan 2, 2017
The Muslims Association of Nigeria (MAN) has urged the Federal Government to lead other tiers of government to initiate programmes that will take the country out of economic recession and hardship.
It spoke through a communique issued by its National President Alhaji Sulaimon Alabi Yusuf and Publicity Secretary Alhaja Nurat Adebayo after the association's National Executive Council meeting held in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The association advised the Federal Government to increase efforts to provide storage for excess agricultural products from the country's envisaged bumper harvest, stressing that "obviously, this will serve as a buffer stock".

MAN implored the National Assembly to carefully and urgently consider the 2017 budget proposal , which, it said, the Federal Government should consciously implement as soon as it is passed and approved by the legislature.
It reminded the government of the urgency to implement the planned social security scheme for the country's poor population.
The group hailed the government for its concerted efforts in addressing the menace of Boko Haram group, particularly in the Northeast.
"The Federal Government must address other threats to national security such as abduction for ransom, kidnapping, ritual killings, armed robbery and brigandage, among others, with the deserved seriousness," MAN said.
