RCCG Forum Outlines Ways Out Of Economic Crisis

There is always a problem in society, waiting for solution, and anyone who utilizes the “opportunity” is on his way to being a business success.

This was an assertion made by the Guest Speaker at the Economic Summit organized by the Christ the Lord Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lagos Province 20 , Lekki where participants also  identified effective production as well as creativity as ways out of current economic malaise facing the country.

They tasked the Church to increase knowledge base of members by sensitizing them on the need to think out of the box and embrace activities that will change the narrative of total dependence on the government for survival.

Speaking on a topic; “Economies of the new decade – The winning agenda”, the keynote speaker, Dr. Biodun Adedipe said that one problem Nigeria is faced with is that she consumes what she does not produce, and a change to this narrative is urgently needed. Manufacturing, according to him, is a viable way to grow the Nigerian economy, saying it is wise for the country to utilize it.

For Dr. Chidi Okpaluba, a creative entrepreneur and transformation speaker, what one gets in life is not what he sees, but what he or she is actually looking for. Speaking during the panel discussions, he said that “87 per cent of the wealth you make in life depends on how you relate with people” adding that “wealth is not created; it is manifested by the personality that you have built.”
