Dr. Tofunmi Ogunronbi, a former gubernatorial candidate of the National Rescue Movement, NRM, from Ogun State and a prominent advocate for education and economic development, shared his thoughts on Nigeria’s current economic challenges and the need for strategic actions to drive sustainable growth.
Dr. Ogunronbi highlighted the urgent need to address Nigeria’s economic challenges with bold, strategic actions rather than relying on short-term fixes. He emphasized the importance of diversifying the economy, investing in key sectors, tackling corruption, and improving governance to drive long-term productivity and sustainable growth.
Regarding critics’ concerns about the lack of clarity and precision in proposed strategies, Dr. Ogunronbi stressed the need for concrete, well-thought-out plans that address the root causes of economic challenges. He called for clear, actionable strategies that deliver tangible results, emphasizing the importance of monitoring progress and making adjustments as necessary.
Dr. Ogunronbi also discussed the role of ordinary Nigerians in contributing to economic reform. He emphasized the importance of being informed and engaged citizens, highlighting the need to avoid sentimental judgment and seek advice from those directly impacted by economic hardships. He emphasized that Nigeria’s government need to be real at this time, stating that the only people that can advise the FG are the people that know where shoes are pitching them and not the elites who don’t know the real market price of items or experienced the stress to enter the market without getting what you need to buy because of high cost of the items or the man who is struggling to manage his income on how to buy fuel, pay school fees and pay house rents. These are the people that can be real about solving the challenges they are facing and not the elites or our so-called politicians.
In conclusion, Dr. Ogunronbi urged Nigerians to seize the opportunity to fix the economy and build a better future. He emphasized the importance of bold, strategic actions that address the root causes of economic woes, calling for a united effort to create a stronger, more resilient economy that benefits all Nigerians.
