Sacked Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi has stated that the country’s political system is economically unsustainable.<\/p>\n

This statement was made by the former CBN governor on Thursday at an\u00a0online roundtable event titled \u2018Debt Relief for a Green and Inclusive Recovery in Nigeria?\u2019 organised by the Heinrich B\u00f6ll Foundation and the Centre for the Studies of the Economies of Africa (CSEA).<\/p>\n

The ex-governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said the country is primed for failure if it continues with the current system which caters to the expenses of politicians.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have 36 states, 774 local governments, each LGA has a chairman, a speaker, at least 10 councilors, the state has a governor, deputy and legislature. You can imagine the hundreds of legislators,\u201d Sanusi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy constitution, we have a president and vice-president, 36 ministers. We have a bicameral legislature consisting of 360 house of rep members and 109 senators.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach of these political office holders has a retinue of personal staff, vehicle and so on. We have set ourselves up to fail.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the bulk of money in a company is spent on salaries of the managing director, the management, petrol for their cars and maintenance, you have a bad loan.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if we have debt relief, if we do not come to terms with the fact that we have politically set ourselves up with a structure that is unsustainable in terms of cost, we are not going anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Sanusi, debt relief is crucial for Nigeria to pursue considerable economic development.<\/p>\n

However, he noted that it must be linked to a clear policy direction which would guarantee significant and lasting impact to the economy.<\/p>\n

He lamented that in the past when Nigeria got debt relief, the country went back to spending on overhead costs, subsidies on fuel and fertilisers.<\/p>\n

Sanusi advocated for social policies to check population growth, as well as the need to preserve land resources<\/a> for agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother element is the rapid rate of growth in population and therefore I would suggest that if you really need sustainable development, debt relief can also be tied to very clear, very measurable and implementable population growth control policies,\u201d Sanusi added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to have social policies around demographic growth. There are parts of this country where the fertility rate is more than eight live births per woman. Some parts are also highly polygamous.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way you can continue growing at 3.4 per cent when your economy is growing at a slower rate and expect to deal with poverty. We should fashion policies around population, education, targeted programmes to reduce out of school children, quality jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, finance ministers of G-20 countries approved an extension of drbt relief for the poorest nations of the world, including Nigeria, till December 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
