Nigeria moving towards dangerous population explosion – Osun Chief Whip
The Chief Whip of Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Tunde Olatunji has declared that Nigeria’s growing population constitutes great threat to its survival without conscious efforts towards converting the rising figure into human capital.
The lawmaker, who represents Ife North state constituency opined that for a growing population like Nigeria to be an asset, the large percentage of the human numbers must be productive. “Only human capital would be asset, every other thing is a liability, it is the percentage of a 200 million population that contribute to its productivity, for instance that is referred as human capital. This is what suggests whether a society is developing or merely progressing in human numbers which invariably becomes another threat to survival of the system.
