The Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Planning and Economic Affairs, Senator YAHAYA ABDULLAHI has said Nigeria is currently facing its worst economic crisis in history.

Senator YAHAYA stated this at the inaugural meeting of the House Committee on National Planning in Abuja.

According to him, there was a need for the National Assembly, represented by the two committees to sit with the executive arm of government to work out ways of getting the economy back on track again.

He said the committees of National Planning in both the House of Representatives and the Senate should ensure that they work hand and hand in the next four years to achieve the set target of turning around the nation’s economy.

While warning against any mistake on the part of the parliament that may compound the already precarious economic situation in the country, he added that the parliament must be able to guide the executive on how to get out of the crisis.
