Osinbajo: GDP Growth Must Improve Citizens' Lives, Not Just Numbers
Former Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, highlighted at the Ford Foundation's 65th-anniversary event in Abuja that GDP growth should directly impact citizens' lives for meaningful development. He criticized the disconnect between economic growth figures and the actual improvement in people's living standards, citing Africa's paradox of steady GDP growth alongside poor quality of life.
Osinbajo urged leaders to prioritize citizen welfare over a mere focus on economic numbers, advocating for inclusive policies that address social justice and enhance access to education, healthcare, and job opportunities.
