Obaseki: Projections of a new Nigeria political economy
BASED on my lifelong advocacy for labour rights, peoples’ power and the legitimacy of the media as the Fourth Estate of the Realm, I am historically obliged to be cautious of the hypnotic mantra of intemperate market-oriented economies. From my experienced co- facilitating role in peoples’ conventions for economic justice and independent media forums in Nigeria, Europe and America, I have come to the irrevocable conclusion on the genuine definition of development: that sustainable and equitable economic growth must be founded on paradigms that are people-centred — a strategy that synchronises economic statistics with careful consideration for mass social advancements.
