But we have been unable to consolidate and build on them and millions of our compatriots have paid the price in terms of diminished job prospects and human well-being.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, in the decade between 2000 and 2014, we have an average GDP growth rate of 3.8% well above our population growth rate of 2.6% per annum, meaning that people were on average truly improving their standard of living.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the following decade, average annual GDP per capita has been negative around minus 0.9% meaning people were worse off because we were not able to sustain prior positive growth momentum,\u201d Okonjo-Iweala added.<\/p>\n<p>Nigeria must sustain good economic policies<br \/>\nSpeaking further, Okonjo-Iweala said the country needs to sustain good economic policies irrespective of the administration or political party in power in order to foster development in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The former Finance Minister said policy inconsistencies have accounted for the reversal in the fortune of the nation\u2019s economic development.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, she called for a social contract between the government and the people which will go beyond the political party in power.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, this social contract must be generally accepted on what economic policies should be followed regardless of who is in power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaintaining good economic and social policies; maintaining policy consistency and adding more reforms on top of that will lead us along the path of good progress that we all desire,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She noted that the country\u2019s economic fortunes and steady growth were not sustained after 2014 during which the average GDP growth rate was approximately 3.8%.
