TVC E – The need to invest in Infrastructure to develop the economy has been emphasised by the Director-General of the West African Institute for Financial and Economic Management, Professor Akpan Hogan Ekpo.
He spoke at the Inaugural Lecture of Centre for Financial Journalism at the Civic Centre, Lagos.
Prof. Ekpo, who delivered the lecture titled: “The Nigerian Economy in Distress; Policy Choices for Buhari’s Administration”, said investment in infrastructure would help the nation to survive the economic hardship facing it.
“If the Federal Government would invest most especially in power, even if it is 15 hours power supply that we have in the country, we will be able to enhance growth and generate jobs,” he said.
He urged the Federal Government to create employment by hiring more young Nigerians into the police, immigration and customs among other agencies.
