Opinion: Transformation Agenda – We have so far failed in politics and economics

by Adisa Adeleye A glaring weakness of the economic transformation programme is its stubborn reliance on paper growth based on the mortal fear of rising prices. Of what is the worth of a rise in the rate of GDP and mass unemployment or as President Jonathan noted on the statistical figures that don‘t translate into... Read More

Opinion: Nigeria’s GDP – Punching below its weight

by Tunji Andrews Nigeria no longer stands on the that top ten list of “fastest growing countries”. Our 6.5% GDP fell way short of our African brothers like Libya (12.2%), Mozambique (8.2%), Rwanda (7.8%) and Ghana (7.6%), who all managed to make the top ten listings in 2012. For me this places a giant ‘F’... Read More

Opinion: Don’t look for it in the crowd, you won’t find it there!

by Chinonso Ogbogu Well, unfortunately, it has become fashionable that a person who tries to stand out from the crowd in his field of endeavour would eventually be labeled ‘ITK’ by those around him. When the figures of the last national census conducted in 2006 were released, it dawned on us that we were the... Read More

Nasir el-Rufai: House rents, transport fares and the meaning of despair

What is painfully obvious is that government does not have the right statistics of housing deficits in Nigeria, nor a workable transport sector development strategy under implementation.

by Stanley Azuakola Right from the days when Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was president, many Nigerians have been saying it that GDP growth without decrease in poverty level is a fallacy.

Apart from some negligent grammatical and formatting errors, there is not much to criticize in the document. Nigeria was recently in the news as the Central Bank announced that while GDP is on the upswing, the amount of people living in absolute poverty is also increasing.
