The Nigerian government has been tasked on the need for economic growths that are driven by people and not the government.
Speakers at a press conference preceding the 11th/13th edition of a global media event, The Platform, made the appeal on Thursday in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
They believe the growth is not achievable unless Nigerians begin to find capital in obvious places that have previously been overlooked and draw resources out of those things.
The Convener, Pastor Poju Oyemade, said that it was high time Nigerians were guided towards discovering the numerous opportunities they hold in their hands and tap into what was thought to be dead capital.
He added that this edition of The Platform would focus on technology, SMES as economic vehicles, arts and entertainment, as well as how to use the power of data to unlock national potentials.
In his speech, the Managing Director of Brava Energy, Harold Obasohan, said that discussions on public education and enlightenment were necessary to bring about economic changes that are people driven and not government.
He added that citizens must move ahead and dictate what government brings at every point.
An international media consultant, Linus Idahosa, also stressed that Nigerians must learn the principle of starting out work for free and building strong clientele base, irrespective of their discipline or economic disposition.
The event is designed to facilitate growth in the areas of personal capacity and productivity towards national development.
It will also examine the untapped ability in the numerous assets of the country, which are capable of growth and can generate surplus as well as encourage Nigerians to disregard obvious challenges and aim for success.
