The Minister said Cabinet this weekend also completed its internal review on the government’s progress for the first half of this year.
”Key highlights was that economy is gradually seeing a rebound with current growth rate pegged at 3.1% for the first quarter of the year. The issue of [the] increasing rate of piracy and terrorism along our northern borders and on the Gulf of Guinea were critically analyzed.
