Obasanjo noted that the situation in Nigeria has become so precarious that “no individual can say he or she has a solution to the problems.”
Moghalu, also During his lecture, pointed out that the solution to Nigeria’s dire economic situation and foreign exchange crisis is to scale up innovation. He said such intervention can “break the Nigerian economy’s structural dependency as an import- and consumer-driven one.”
