Episode 25: Lady Chinyere Ihuoma Ekomaru PhD, Deputy Governor, Imo State
Paula McGrath and Bruno Herrmann continue their virtual travel in Africa to talk to Lady Chinyere Ihuoma Ekomaru PhD, Deputy Governor of Imo State in Nigeria. It was another opportunity to take the pulse of a fast growing country in a fast moving continent. And this conversation was nothing short of amazing. Lady Chinyere Ihuoma Ekomaru PhD was best positioned to share a realistic and inspiring overview of how her state and her country identified the challenges in various sectors and industries while defining the way to turn them into opportunities in the short and long run. So, she highlighted where Nigeria could and should invest both from an economic and human perspective. Like the previous African guest, she also insisted on why African countries must take control of their own development and define growth priorities, ranging from digital economy and agriculture to industrial capabilities and food industry. Regional and local talent is critical to make political decisions come true. Thank you so much Lady Chinyere Ihuoma Ekomaru PhD for sharing your views on the current state of Nigeria and your wishes for its future. It is another Top Voices episode available now on our usual platforms.
