Presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu's plan to return Nigeria's oil production to 2.6m barrels per day flies in the face of global decarbonisation and market dynamics, say critics.
Oil, which for decades held pride of place in Nigeria’s economic calculations, is being gradually pushed off the stage. In its place, the new ICT and creative industries are coming to the fore.
Nigeria must become a predominantly cashless society, and can act as a knowledge hub for the world on central bank digital currencies, says Godwin Emefiele.
