Speaking in a similar vein, Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, said the worst is over as far as the recession was concerned, stating that by December, the economy would be fully out of recession and be on the path of growth As a confidence building measure, the federal government has asked Nigerians not to panic over the recession, as it was not the first time it had occurred, assuring that everything was being done to check it and alleviate the impact on Nigerians.
