The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Friday, urged the Federal and state governments to prioritize massive investment, in the area of health and education, in order to prevent the country from sink into the state of penury, as predicted by the latest World Bank report on Nigeria.
“Two days ago, I read a report in Bloomberg, a latest World Bank report on Nigeria, which was issued on Monday. The World Bank has predicted that if things continue the way they are, within the next 10 years, Nigeria will be home to 25 per cent of all the poor people of the world,” he said. “And the best way to end poverty is to invest in health and education. So, we are calling on the Federal Government, state governments to continue to allocate more and more of the budget to these areas. I am also calling on the private sector and philanthropists to invest in these areas, because this is the only way we can avert crisis,” he said.
