Bismark Rewane, a member of Nigeria’s Presidential Economic Advisory Council says the country’s economy remains in a fragile state and needs stimulus in the form of loans, justifying President Muhammadu Buhari’s latest request for the Senate to approve a N2.3tn external loan.

Mr Rewane who is also the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Financial Derivatives Company Limited stated this on Wednesday when he featured on an ARISE News programme, The Morning Show.
