    True growth requires us to look forward rather than clinging to outdated industries, demanding bold leadership that embraces global competitiveness. To unlock Nigeria's next wave of economic potential, we must pivot toward modern strategies such as establishing a dedicated Ministry of Investment and Innovation and ensuring leadership appointments are driven strictly by merit and rigorous selection. Building a future-ready nation means replacing protectionism with innovation and competence. #PolicyWithoutPolitics #Policy #TheRefinery #MustafaChikeObi #DrKenIkpe
