DR. DOYIN OKUPE, SENIOR SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25, (THEWILL) –  The Presidency has declared that the country’s economy is in good shape even as it insisted that the Federal Government was not losing any sleep over the discovery of shale oil by the United States, saying it won’t affect Nigeria’s crude oil production.

Giving the assurance on Tuesday at a media briefing in Abuja, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said the clarification became necessary in view of fears being expressed in some  quarters about the discovery of shale oil by the United States Government and its likely effect on Nigeria’s crude oil production.
