Ned Nwoko wants FG to rejig import policies for economic growth

Nwoko, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Monday in Abuja, noted that embracing lessons from countries like South Korea and India, whose initial import restrictions led to long-term economic growth was imperative, adding that Nigeria must aim to chart a similar course.

While recognising the concerns raised by the CBN governor over Nigeria’s reported losses amounting to $1.4 billion over eight years due to restrictions on specific items, he however, said that was a small price to pay.
