Nigeria's former Finance Minister Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said has made a stunning revelation about Nigeria in her growing up days.
She reportedly made this revelation in faraway Kindom of Morocco on a panel at the the Mo Ibrahim Forum.
She said, “When I was 18, the world seemed open, prospects from my country seemed good; we had come out of a war, we were united and rebuilding so it seemed like a place where there was a lot of opportunities because we were reconstructing the country, there were a lot of jobs.
“I had very high expectations of a country where it would have what it needed infrastructure wise and people could go up and down the ladder anywhere they pleased”, she said.
Unemployment, the former Finance Minister said, is one of Nigeria's teething problems that the country is fighting on all fronts.
“When we think about creating jobs, which is the biggest problem our economy is faced with, we want to get very practical to talk about what we should be doing rather than the theory,” she said.
“One thing is important, you can not create these jobs unless you have a conducive environment in the economy that enables and encourages your domestic private sector to invest as well as the foreign private sector so that is where it begins”, she added.
