AFRICAN GOVERNMENTS MUST ACCORD HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRIORITY TO PROMOTING INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH – PRESIDENT JONATHAN

President Goodluck Jonathan said Wednesday in Davos Switzerland that African governments must accord the highest possible priority to promoting inclusive economic growth on the continent to avoid problems associated with poverty and financial equality.

Speaking during a televised debate at the World Economic Forum, President Jonathan said that his administration was already doing a lot to enhance inclusive growth in Nigeria through policies and programmes that focus on wealth creation rather than poverty alleviation.
