Governor Aregbesola noted that between the month of July 2013 and July 2014, at the rate of 50 dollars per barrel, the country lost 20 million dollars daily, amounting to about 1.2 trillion Naira within the period.
He urged the Federal Government to diversify the economy by investing in agriculture in order to save the economy of the country.
The Host, Mr Issa Aremu, also advised politicians to ensure that issues affecting the generality of Nigerians in the areas of job creation, foreign affairs and industrialisation top their campaign manifesto.
He added that whoever then emerges would have the blessing of the people.
