Nigerian government must first invest in infrastructure.
The Nigerian government has made many attempts to improve the health and education sectors. However, due to the lack of infrastructure, it is unclear how effective these efforts will be. Without proper infrastructure in place, it is difficult to provide quality health care and education to the population. This in turn makes it difficult for the government to improve the standard of living for its citizens. In order to truly improve the health and education sectors, the Nigerian government must first invest in infrastructure. Only then will the population be able to reap the benefits of the government’s efforts.
