The President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim, said on Thursday that the bank had concentrated on the northern region of Nigeria in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s request.

Kim and the Managing Director, International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who spoke at separate press conferences in Washington DC, United States, also advised Buhari to invest in things that would enhance economic growth.

Kim said, “You know, in my very first meeting with President Buhari he said specifically that he would like us to shift our focus to the northern region of Nigeria and we’ve done that. Now, it has been very difficult. The work there has been very difficult.

“I think Nigeria, of course, has suffered from the dropping oil prices. I think things are just now getting better. But the conversation we need to have with Nigeria, I think, is in many ways related to the theme that I brought to the table just this past week, which is investment in human capital. The percentage of the Gross Domestic Product that Nigeria spends on healthcare is less than one percent.”

He added, “Despite that, there is so much turbulence in the northern part of the country, and there is the hit that was taken from the drop in the oil prices. Nigeria has to think ahead and invest in its people. Investing in the things that will allow Nigeria to be a thriving, rapidly growing economy in the future is what the country has to focus on right now.”

Kim also said, “Focusing on the northern part of Nigeria, we hope that as commodity prices stabilise and oil prices come back up, the economy will grow a bit more. But very, very much important is the need to focus on what the drivers of growth in the future will be.

Why did not the so-called President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim, ask Buhari if northern region represent entire country? What about other parts of country I guess the President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim would have asked? Anyway, the registered owners of oil blocks in the zoo called Nigeria are elites from northern region.

And who doesn't know this has always been the sole aim of this nitwit of a president

More money keeps going to the north, and yet no significant improvement.

I weep for this country.

Mhen this Buhari ehn.... may Nigeria never see his like again....

OP, watch out as the natural born slaves to the hausa/foolanni aka yorigba/afonja muslims will call for your “flat” head, for daring their slave masters from the desert north.
