The Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, says Nigeria lacks a good maintenance culture capable of developing the nation.
Okonjo-Iweala made this statement on Monday while speaking
at the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit 2026 held in Asaba.
According to her: “The fact is that endowments alone do not
add value. Budgetary allocations alone do not lead to new roads or good
maintenance.
“We lack a maintenance culture in the country. I have to say
that. I’m Nigerian but we need that.
“We need better ports and digital infrastructure, and lower
trade costs. Execution is what matters, and successful execution requires
focus. It requires prioritisation.”
DAILY POST reports that the Delta State Economic and
investment Summit represents a meticulously planned gathering designed to
connect critical stakeholders to explore the abundant business opportunities in
the State.
