The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, believes that Nigeria’s population as it currently stands is more of a liability than it is a blessing.
The monarch said this today when he spoke on a panel session of the 25th Nigerian Economic Summit currently holding in Abuja.
He said “People talk that our population is an asset but we are yet to get there. Nigeria’s population is currently a liability because most of the root cause of problems such as kidnapping, armed robbery, Boko Haram, drug addiction are all tied to the population that we have and the question is how do you turn that into a productive one”.
