Obaseki, in a congratulatory message to the renowned economist, urged him to use his new role to provide direction in influencing the fundamentals of the Nigerian economy, which will help to steer the economy back on track.
The governor said Salami’s credentials “will boost investor confidence for many who have sought a more coordinated and predictable economic environment that can spur foreign direct investment (FDI) and portfolio investment into the economy.
