Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, has said that sale of Federal Government’s properties to fund the 2021 budget will benefit Nigerians and help boost the nation’s economy.

This was disclosed by the Minister during a media interview with Channels TV on Friday morning, January 22.

This comes after a recent revealed statement from Ahmed that the Federal Government will be selling off some of its asset and use the funds generated to fund the deficit in the 2021 budget.

In her chat with Channels TV, the Minister revealed that a lot of Government assets are currently obsolete and provide little or no value to citizens in their current state.

She added that the Bureau of Public Enterprises will in the first quarter of the current year (2021) begin to coordinate with other arms of government on the asset sales.
