Former Governor of Abia state, Eastern Nigeria, Dr Orji Kalu has added his voice to the call for the diversification of the country’s economy.He says the country should venture into agriculture and the mineral sectors, in order to improve the economy.The former Governor, who was on a private visit to Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo said the country cannot continue to depend on oil for survival. He said government must also do more in the area of power supply, as it tries to improve the economy.“We need power to be able to revamp the economy. It should not rely on only crude oil. We can produce a lot of things that we can also export. We can rely on farming and our mineral resources. We need to diversify because that is the key,” he said.
