An economic expert, Prof. Ben Aigbokhan, has said the continuing fall in the value of the naira and the economic recession in Nigeria can be checked with assistance from foreign countries.

Aigbokhan, who is the president of the Nigerian Economic Society (NES) said the economic recession and the depreciating value of the naira are caused by sanctions from foreign countries.

In an interview with The Guardian in Abuja, Aigbokhan explained that with the support of world economic powers, the current challenges would be checked.
