As an economist, I have discovered that the biggest problem we are having is our interest rates, which are so high and this is discouraging investors and business owners from taing risks. That is why we have a lot of one-man businesses stunted by lack of suppot from government or the banks. The average interest rate for lending money in Nigerian banks is 23 per cent, while the banks pay just 12 per cent to fixed depositors. This is inhibiting the growth of businesses in the country. In South Africa, for example, the average interest rate for loaning customers is six per cent. That is why a one man business can take a huge amount of money to support his business. If this happens in Nigeria, all the profit will be spent servicing the interest.

If we want to stamp our authority as the biggest economy in Africa, then we need to support small businesses. Our banks should stop lending only to oil and electricity companies.
