Speaking to State House reporters after the inauguration of the Presidential Economic Coordination Council (PECC) by President Bola Tinubu, Dangote emphasized that Nigeria possesses all the necessary resources to achieve economic revitalization within a short span of months.

The PECC, comprising top government officials, private sector leaders, and consultants, aims to strategize a comprehensive plan to address the current economic challenges facing the nation.
