RE EXAMINING DIVERSIFICATION... By Dotun George

At a time of serious economic crisis, everybody is singing the song of diversification even when we are still trapped in the idea of obsolete and out of fashion economy.
Okay, we want to diversify to agriculture but what is driving the campaign is no more than stomach infrastructure. And even when we talk agriculture, it is still basically within the realm of old fashion and obsolete economic idea and not knowledge: Fertilizer, importation of grass from Brazil etc. That explains why we cannot feed ourselves, essentially because we still rely on old models either for pastoralists or those who till the land.


The second area we want to diversify into is solid minerals. We are told practically everyday that buried in all our villages are precious gems that we must now begin to look for and with that, luck and chance remain the pathway to the future.
And the last area we are diversifying into is the same commodity that brought us to the current pass: oil and gas. That is why we are now expending huge sums of money searching for hydrocarbons everywhere.

Unfortunately, the only place that holds a promise to the future is one we have cynically neglected. We no longer invest in education, science and technology. In fact, at a time Dollars were being allocated in Aso Rock, funding the education of Nigerian children abroad was publicly declared as not one of the priority areas. Political office holders, who themselves have their children abroad, were giving hypocritical sermons, making it look as if it was a crime for other Nigerians to want the best education for their own children.


Education, science and technology are veritable and vital tools that gave Singapore, Malaysia, China, Japan, India and South Korea a quantum leap and giant stride that we can see today. We can we change our approach on this diversification and see our nation taken a dramatic and instant turnaround.
