There is a difference between economic growth and economic development. The issue before Nigeria at the moment is not about economic growth, per se. While growth is about improvement on what is already established; i.e. efficient deployment of all factors, economic development on its own is about moving a people, the entire population of a country out of poverty and out of misery, unto a better standards of living. David Diaz, in a piece published by the University of Sunderland, captures economic development as moving a people “from low standard of living, including supporting them to gain employment and appropriate shelter”. Therefore, before we talk about economic growth in Nigeria, we have to first focus attention on where the country is and what the country needs at this moment. Nigeria needs economic development.
