Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, has said Nigeria
has no business being poor because of the vast natural resources abound in its
nooks and crannies. Wogu, who spoke at the 14th National Productivity Day and
the award of recognition to selected Nigerians who have distinguished
themselves in various fields of endevour, in Abuja, noted that for the country
to achieve the Vision 202020 there must be improved productivity at all levels.
He said the country had missed so many opportunities that made her not to take
her rightful place as an economic giant in the comity of nations, but expressed
optimism that the articulated transformation agenda of the present government
led by President Goodluck Jonathan, had put her on a sustainable path of
economic growth and development. According to him, the hosting of this ceremony
demonstrates the firm resolves of government to transform the Nigeria nation
through productivity improvement imperatives. This is because productivity
remains the cornerstone for building any virile and dynamic economy. The
history of this nation is replete with so many missed opportunities and low
productivity that have prevented the country from taking its rightful place as
an economic giant in the comity of nations. Indeed, Nigeria has no business
with poverty given our vast natural resources.
