Oby Ezekwesili, has warned Nigerian leaders about the crucial consequences of the nation’s continued over-dependence on oil.
She also said that Nigeria has to diversify its economy and maintain a level ground with the rest of the world to secure its future.
“Norway, one of the biggest oil producers has just stashed $1 trillion of her oil money in a sovereign wealth fund.
“I was in Norway recently, and 10 per cent of vehicles used there run on electric. Nigeria should ask herself these critical questions because very soon, Nigeria will drink her crude oil,” she said.
Nigeria’s economy is still dependent on oil despite the government’s attempts to rejuvenate the agricultural and transport sector.
