The country is not productive, that is why we are preoccupied with sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIf we are productive, it will be very easy for Nigeria to grow, be able to create jobs and do what others are doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cEvery part of Nigeria has the potential to grow and compete, but we are not doing that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Citinf reports that Anambra has joined oil producing states, Peter Obi said<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0that Nigeria needs to move away from seeing resource control from an angle of natural resources but more on investment in people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cOil is a dead asset. With the plans we had when I was in office, if it was followed by the next administration, Anambra would have generated way more than Nigeria generates from oil,\u201d the former governor said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cBecause when you talk about oil, how much are you (Nigeria) getting from oil? $18 billion, that\u2019s all we are getting from oil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to him, this figure stated as Nigeria\u2019s oil revenue can\u2019t be compared with what other smaller states get through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/08\/18\/buhari-nigeria-lost-investments-worth-50bn-to-non-passage-of-pib\/\">investments<\/a> in education, information and communication technology (ICT), and health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIf you do these investments properly, pull your people out of poverty, you would see that the money you are talking about in terms of what we are getting from oil is not much,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Obi said he doesn\u2019t see Anambra generating up to half a billion dollars from oil in the next ten years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But he said that if the state continued what his administration started by targeting to raise $2 billion by 2030 and distribute the money to support SMEs, the state would generate five times that amount from massive industrialisation and exports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI believe in fiscal federalism, it will help the country grow.
