The director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has said that Nigerians no longer believe that government can do anything for them.
Okonjo-Iweala stated this while speaking virtually at the inauguration of the 100-member Abia transition council, Okonjo-Iweala, on Friday.
She said Alex Otti, the governor-elect, must run a clean and transparent administration.
The WTO DG asked the incoming government to focus on “disruptive strategies rather than traditional operational systems. ”
“I told the governor-elect that everything we’ll do will depend on this governance,” she was quoted by NAN.
“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, but on the other hand, that is not how to run the place.”
She further advised Otti to run a “better and cleaner, transparent governance” that should be exemplary to everyone.
Okonjo-Iweala expressed hope that through Otti, “there is a unique chance to set Abia on the right side of development and modernisation, through digital disruptive technology”.
