Nigeria: VP Yemi Osinbajo Still Didn’t Get It!

By Afam Nkemdiche
The federal government’s economic team, led by the National Economic Council (NEC), has once again received a hard knock for its poor understanding of how to grow a national economy.
Bill Gates; yes, Bill Gates of the Microsoft fame, who came calling a couple of days previously, was reported to have told a special session of the NEC that Nigeria’s ongoing Economic Recovery And Growth Plan (ERGP) is broadly flawed.
*VP Osinbajo
He said for the ERGP to be effective, it must reflect the people’s needs, and it should give priority to human capital development over physical capital, contrary to the present composition of the ERGP. 
He then advised the federal government to review the ERGP – I should interpret that to mean reconstitute the NEC.
