In a series of posts on his official X handle on Monday, Moghalu highlighted additional issues affecting the region’s prosperity. He outlined ten key factors:

2. **Knowledge of Public Policy**: Adequate knowledge in framing and executing public policies is lacking.
3. **Monitoring and Evaluation**: Effective frameworks for monitoring and evaluating policies are insufficient.
4. **Decision Science**: There is a need for data-driven policy-making.
5. **Macroeconomic Knowledge**: Basic understanding of macroeconomics is often missing, as seen from interactions with government and legislative bodies.
6. **Strategy and Risk Management**: Effective strategies and risk management practices are needed.
7. **Role of the Private Sector**: There is a lack of understanding of the private sector’s role and the balance between state regulation and market forces.
8. **Accountability**: Corruption is not adequately addressed, becoming systemic and diverting focus from genuine development.
9. **Nationhood**: Excessive focus on ethnic and religious identities undermines objective decision-making and national unity.
10. **Human Capital**: Low emphasis on developing a skilled workforce and improving healthcare results in reduced economic productivity.
