coleman wiresAs Nigeria prepares to host the 25th Edition of the World Economic Forum on Africa, the Federal Government has been advised to use the opportunity to push for policies that will engender growth and development.

This advice came from an Industrialist and the Managing Director, Coleman Wires and Cable, Mr George Onafowokan. He was Channels Television’s guest on its Business Morning programme.

Mr Onafowokan said the theme of the forum, ‘Forging Inclusive Growth and Job Creation’ was in the right direction but that the forum should be made to stimulate the thinking of those in government to look inward and come up with policies that would bring about added value.

According to him, government needs to move away from oil and look into the real sector if it must achieve economic diversification.

The World Economic Forum on Africa is scheduled to hold between May 7 and 9 in Abuja the Federal Capital Territory.
