Amid rising economic challenges and deepening poverty in the country, Kingsley Moghalu, former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has emphasized that hope alone is not a strategy.
This is even as he said that he’s hopeful about Nigeria despite sustained contemporary difficulties.
Moghalu maintained that the country needed to improve state capacity for effective governance.
According to him, Nigerians must learn to be honest with themselves and address the root causes of their problems.
In a post on his X handle on Friday, Moghalu wrote: “Despite sustained contemporary difficulties, I am hopeful about Nigeria.
“But hope is not a strategy. We need to improve state capacity for effective governance . We either fix our problems, or our problems will eventually ‘fix’ us. No alternative to a renegotiated union.
“We must learn to be honest with ourselves and address the root causes of our problems. Why ignore them, when the problem is actually quite solvable?
“The problem with continuing with this approach is that when the danger crystallizes, those who thought they were benefiting from the status quo will find that we ALL – they included- will be losers.”
