Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Managing Director, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ms. Christine Lagarde, has said that she was not in Nigeria to negotiate a loan and urged the Buhari Government to diversify its revenue to try and get out of an economic crisis fuelled by the fall in oil prices.

According to Reuters, Lagarde held talks with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja, and backed the president’s fight against corruption terming it “very important” and also added that Buhari’s reform push could have a positive impact in Africa.

The IMF had earlier stated that the visit of Lagarde will provide an opportunity to strengthen the Fund’s partnership with the largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa, and was quoted as saying that she looks forward to productive meetings with President Buhari and his colleagues as they address important economic challenges, most importantly the impact of low oil prices.
