Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Kingsley Moghalu, has explained why African countries can’t create prosperity.
Moghalu said Nigeria and other African countries have weak
governance capacity, including foundational philosophical worldview, knowledge
of public policy framing and execution, Monitoring and evaluation framework,
amongst other.
He posted on X: “Why African countries can’t create
prosperity: weak governance capacity. Absence of:
1. Foundational philosophical worldview (EVERY prosperous
developed country has one).
2. Knowledge of public policy framing and execution.
3. Monitoring and evaluation framework.
4. Decision Science (data-based policy making).
5. Basic macroeconomic knowledge (as DepGov @cenbank this
was obvious from interactions across @NigeriaGov and @nassnigeria ).
6. Strategy and risk management.
7. Understanding of the role of the private sector and the
right balance between the state (regulation and policy) and the market.
8. Accountability (in reality) for corruption, thus allowing
corruption (which exists everywhere) to become systemic and completely divert
away from a true focus of governance on development.
9. Nationhood. Too much atomistic thinking along identity
(ethnic and religious) lines. This completely destroys any inclination to
objectivity in decision making. In the absence of a true worldview many African
countries are “governed” by small views.”
