THE World Bank on Friday expressed its willingness to provide technical support to Nigeria in critical areas to facilitate the country’s economic growth and development. The World Bank chief reiterated that he was in Nigeria to discuss with relevant Nigerian officials regarding the areas Nigeria would like to receive additional support from the bank. Udoma said the plan also layed the foundation for Nigeria’s long-term economic growth. He pointed out that although a large population could be an asset, a high population growth rate could pose a challenge for any country. Ahmed urged for more support, especially in the management of Nigeria’s growing population and inclusive growth.
