Represented by the Group Executive Director of the Dangote conglomerate, Mansur Ahmed, Dangote quoted the World Bank as stating that for Nigeria to make the transition to knowledge economy, it must pay attention to the business environment, education & skills, innovation systems and information communication infrastructure.
He said Nigeria needs a conducive business environment that provides incentive for the efficient use of existing knowledge.
