The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, has said that if proactive steps are not taken, Nigeria may still remain the poverty capital of the world for many years to come.
The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said this after his induction as an honorary member of the Sigma Club of the University of Ibadan (UI) at the weekend. He said that unless the country’s leaders get their priorities right and address critical issues that affect human development, many countries of the world would leave Nigeria behind.
