Sixty-Four Years of Resilience and Progress As Nigeria marks its 64th Independence, it stands as a testament to the nation’s resilience and the remarkable strides made in various sectors. This moment not only offers a chance to celebrate Nigeria's growth but also to reflect on the immense opportunities that lie ahead for further development and progress: ✅ Economic Diversification: Nigeria has made significant progress in diversifying its economy beyond oil, with increasing investments in modern agriculture, technology, and a skilled workforce. There are even greater opportunities in harnessing the potential of Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage and burgeoning hospitality industry to drive sustainable economic growth. ✅ Political Stability: Strengthening political institutions with a focus on good governance, accountability, transparency, and inclusivity remains key. Nigeria’s commitment to political stability is essential for fostering long-term national development and a thriving democratic society. ✅ Social Development: Expanding access to quality education and affordable healthcare, while addressing inequality, will ensure that every Nigerian has the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from the nation’s progress. Social development remains a cornerstone of Nigeria's path toward equitable growth.

Nigeria at 64: Celebrating Our Journey of Resilience and Growth As Nigeria marks its 64th Independence Anniversary, it is an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s journey across key sectors that define our collective existence. Social & Cultural Growth:  Our diverse culture and rich heritage have been a source of strength, fostering unity in diversity. However, the ongoing challenge is ensuring that ethnic and religious differences become channels for growth rather than division. Economic Progress: From the oil boom era to present economic struggles, Nigeria’s economy has experienced remarkable highs and notable lows. Efforts towards diversification, particularly in agriculture and technology, show promise for a more resilient future. Education: Education remains pivotal, yet there is a growing need for improvement. With increasing access to education, the focus must shift to quality, ensuring the younger generation is equipped to drive innovation and leadership. Family Structure & Values: The family, as the bedrock of society, continues to evolve, with traditional values intertwining with modern challenges. Strengthening family institutions will be critical in shaping the moral compass of our society. Political Landscape: Politically, Nigeria has witnessed a steady transition to democratic governance. The challenge remains to deepen democracy, ensuring transparency, good governance, and youth involvement in leadership. Health Sector: The health sector faces numerous challenges, from infrastructure to funding. Yet, progress has been made in maternal health, infectious disease control, and healthcare reforms. Continued investments will safeguard the health of all Nigerians. As we celebrate 64 years, may we commit to building a more united, prosperous, and healthy Nigeria! #NigeriaAt64 #IndependenceDay #NationBuilding

Hello, and hope you are enjoying the beginning of the end of the year. Welcome to another insightful episode of the ARC program, "Developing a National Human Capital Policy" with Tolu Omodara. Join us live at 5:00pm WAT/ 11:00am ET via https://lnkd.in/gnFX3WtB In building a prosperous Nigeria, developing a robust National Human Capital Policy is crucial. Human capital development is the foundation of economic growth, social progress, and national transformation. The ability to absorb, utilize, and translate knowledge into practical outcomes forms the bedrock of success, particularly in a knowledge-driven economy. As was said last week, to ensure Nigeria - and the rest of Africa - builds the absorptive capacity necessary for transformation, appropriate focus must be on the following pillars: Education, Business Environment, Information Infrastructure, and Innovation Culture. Meanwhile, a knowledge economy is one where knowledge is generated, disseminated, and utilized not just effectively, but as well, optimally. By focusing on innovation and absorptive capacity, Nigeria can achieve: - Economic diversification; - Wealth creation through new knowledge; and - Skills development for the future workforce. The ultimate goal is not just raising skilled Nigerians but building a great Nigeria capable of competing on the global stage. Please, join our other experts, Mr. Gbadebo and Dr. Ogunsona on Thursdays and Fridays, every week, as they delve deeper into strategies for building Nigeria’s absorptive capacity. Together, we can create the right economic climate to ensure knowledge outputs translate into significant economic and social outcomes. Let’s work towards a brighter, more innovative, and greater future for Nigeria!

Here’s why these investments will be transformational! • Providing support for the most vulnerable, mitigating the impact of reforms. • Reinforcing Nigeria's substantial reforms, aiding the economy during this transformative phase. • Boosting the government's ability to augment non-oil revenues and reinvest in essential public services.
