    “Central Bank of Nigeria has disclosed that the apex bank would support critical sectors of the economy with N1.1 trillion intervention fund. This was stated by the Godwin Emefiele, Governor of the apex bank on Wednesday in a statement.“

    N1.1 trillion intervention fund without good road infrastructure will not make any difference in the critical sectors of the economy.
    What will support critical sectors of the economy are:-
    < Good road connectivity
    < Security of person and property
    < Working institutions, for example, the judiciary.
