This post is one of the few really important questions we should be asking ourselves and one to make deliberate efforts to intellectually interrogate.
Reading the CS, and it appears a large % of comments want to heap the blame on the govt ๐ฏ percent.
Govt should not be blamed as the sole reasons why we don't have a thriving fishing industry with thousands of trawlers on the ocean.
If we don't have a Fintech like Moniepoint today and the question - why don't we have a small loan app in Nigeria - was asked, instead of fish; folks would blame govt like in the CS. Yet we have Moniepoint today because one person saw the vision, sought the funding and implemented.
How come it is cheaper to catch fish in China, freeze it in China, transport it frozen down to Lagos, Nigeria, clear it frozen, truck it frozen to Onitsha, truck it frozen to Ikot Ekpene ---
than to catch it it Oron and sell it in Ikot Ekpene?
