(SOME private sector operators have condemned the World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreement for being lopsided and against the interests of developing countries.
The operators, who were participants at the WTO Trade Facilitation workshop, expressed their views in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja. A cross section of the participants said that the partnership between the developed and developing countries was that of unequals.
Alhaji Mohammed Abdulsalam, the second vice-president of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), said that the ultimate goal of the agreement was to allow industrialised countries have free access to developing countries' markets.)
One would hope that these types of agreements would receive greater scrutiny prior to being signed. But the failure of leadership continues to plague this huge nation that continues to refuse to be great.
Nigeria seems to positively fight progress. Here's a country that if left without a formal government for the past 40yrs would probably have progressed much further.
Nonetheless, it is encouraging that some vocal opposition exists - an example being the one from the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN).The time is now for our so-called leaders to act and take the nation forward.
Rise! Nigeria, Please Rise!
