The newly inaugurated Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Abubakar Bagudu says he will leverage on the ministry, its parastatals, agencies, and partners to unlock the economic potential of the country.

He dropped the hint in his address delivered on the resumption ceremony organized by the ministry in Abuja.

Bagudu said, the current national challenge represents a generational opportunity to plan, re-plan and doggedly implement his carefully thought-out interventions and do so patriotically.

He promised that the ministry would help the new administration to think through the current economic challenges and offer sustainable immediate palliative measures.
