CNN Money, a business analysis programme, on Friday listed Nigeria as one of the fastest growing economies for 2015.
According to the report, in 2014, Nigeria’s Economy grew by 7.1 per cent.
It said that in 2015 the economy was expected to grow by another 7 per cent.
“By our estimate, the fastest growing economies in 2015 will be China, Qatar and Nigeria.
“Nigerian economy, growing by 7.0% came after China 7.3%, and Qatar 7.1%,” it said.
Meanwhile, PDP has described the development as an affirmation of global confidence in the economy.
In a statement, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr Olisa Metuh, said it was a verdict of a disinterested party and a referendum on the prudent management of the Nigerian economy by the Goodluck Jonathan-led administration.
It said the assessment, coming from a world leading media was a confirmation of an earlier evaluation by other international institutions that predicted a thriving performance and bright future for Nigeria`s economy.
The statement added that the verdict was another sign that Nigeria was safe and well-led under the PDP.
“The grading by the CNNMoney is another witness to the reality of positive changes brought to all sectors of the national life and whose cumulative impact formed a consistent growth driver for the economy.
“Here again is the reality of the global confidence in the vivacity of Nigeria as Africa’s largest economy,’’ it said.
It, however, said that those in opposition found it convenient for the expediency of politics to deny what “is as clear as daylight’’ and what they ought to applaud.
