A former Health Minister, Isaac Adewole, has urged politicians to invest in human capital development such as education and healthcare as much as they build roads, hospitals, and bridges.
The former minister in an interview with newsmen lamented that there has been “undue emphasis on infrastructure” without commensurate human capital development. He said politicians build flyovers for exhibitionism because they want to have something to show to the people at the end of their tenure.
According to the scholar, that is not what is needed to develop Nigeria. He said Investment in infrastructure must not be at the expense of investment in education and efficient healthcare delivery.
