Moghalu attributed the perpetuation of economic fallacies to these artificial interventions, which, he contends, fueled rampant speculation and drained the nation’s economic vitality. He underscored the absence of a robust export economy beyond oil as a pivotal issue, emphasizing the urgent need for a paradigm shift towards value-added manufacturing and diversified export streams.

Highlighting Nigeria’s lagging infrastructure, particularly in the energy sector, Moghalu underscored the critical role of adequate power supply in propelling economic growth. With Nigeria’s paltry electricity generation capacity starkly contrasting with its burgeoning population, he emphasized the transformative potential of scaling up energy production to unleash the country’s entrepreneurial prowess.

As Nigeria navigates its economic trajectory, Moghalu’s insights serve as a clarion call for pragmatic policies aimed at fostering sustainable growth and prosperity for all.
