Former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has urged states to be more productive, saying the states see themselves as political rather than economic entities.
Speaking
at the unveiling of National Competitiveness Report and Sub-National Index
Report by National Competitiveness Council of Nigeria, NCCN, in Lagos, Duke
said each state has enough resources to grow its economy rather than depending
on the Federal Government.
Lamenting
that there is no master-plan to make states economic entities, Duke noted that
the President Muhammadu Buhari government has no business, patting itself on
the back on the basis of improving the economy, adding that the indices being paraded
are not real.
