The Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, has emphasised the difficulty in estimating the economic losses caused by the ongoing protests, underscoring that the loss of lives is more significant than material damage.
Bagudu explained that the government implemented measures aimed at transforming the economy for the better in the long term, acknowledging that these measures sometimes come with short-term costs.
He noted that a segment of society might feel that the actions could have been handled differently.
