The Presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has reacted to the recently released Global Competitiveness report, which ranks Nigeria 115th out of 140 profiled countries.
Ezekwesili, who is a former vice president of the World Bank for Africa, said on Saturday that Nigeria’s move from its previous position of 125 was a positive development.
She however noted that a lot needed to be done in making Nigeria’s socio-economic environment more globally competitive.
She said, “Moving 10 places on the Index is positive news for the country, but I must say that Nigeria has no business being in the lower rungs of the ladder as regards global competitiveness.
“With the right policies, resources at our disposal, and especially commitment from government, we can take a giant leap up the index and create a better life for majority of our citizens.”
