He said:
"Many Nigerians today are lavishing in a high level of poverty. This level of poverty has contributed heavily to the growing level of insecurity in their lives and property across the country."
Njoku further stated that human capital development is the stock of knowledge, skills, know-how and other acquired personal attributes that are useful in the production process of any economy.
He added that investment in human capital is very important, adding that this is directly proportional to productivity and profitability of any economy.
The former gubernatorial aspirant said no great nation achieves economic development without first improving its capacity to become more productive and profitable.
Njoku also noted that productivity is dependent not only on physical infrastructure and economic policies but on the capability and culture of the people to constructively use these vectors to increase and sustain high productivity and profitability.
