The World Bank has stressed the importance of Nigeria maintaining its current economic reforms for the next 10 to 15 years in order to strengthen its position as a leading economic power in sub-Saharan Africa and on the global stage.
These reforms, the bank highlighted, are essential for promoting sustainable growth and development, allowing Nigeria to effectively compete with other emerging economies worldwide.
This recommendation was made by Indermit Gill, Senior Vice President of the World Bank Group, during the 30th Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja. The summit, organized by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group in partnership with the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, focuses on the theme, “Working Together for Growth, Competitiveness, and Stability,” and spans over three days.
He said, “Nigeria will need to stay the course of current economic reforms for at least the next 10 to 15 years to transform its economy.
“I don’t know if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me. If these reforms are sustained, Nigeria will transform its economy and become an engine of growth in sub-Saharan Africa.
“It is very difficult to implement such reforms, but the rewards will be massive if they are maintained.”
