Nigerians Have Lost Faith In Governance – Okonjo-Iwela

The Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has said many Nigerians have no longer believe the government can provide anything good for them through their administration.

VerseNews Nigeria reports that Okojo-Iweala speaking at the inauguration of the 100-member 2023 Abia Transition Council held in Aba, Abia’s economic hub said those from the South-East, have lost hope in governance.

To restore their hope, she tasked the State governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti to run a clean and transparent government adding that the incoming government should focus on “disruptive strategies rather than traditional operational systems”.

“I told the governor-elect that everything we will do would depend on this governance. Nigerians, especially from that side of the South-East, have lost faith in governance.

“They no longer believe the government can provide anything for them. They provide for themselves boreholes, electricity and every other thing for themselves. Although that is entrepreneurial, on the other hand, that is not how to run the place,” She said.
