Objectives

As of July, this year, the World Bank estimated that the rising inflation in Nigeria has pushed over 7 million of its population into poverty. Before this, existing data show that about 60% of the over 200 million people live below the poverty line. Therefore, we want to have these effective traditional economic solutions to poverty studied and the principles applied in the economy: the public lecture will educate the public about them, propose that they be included in the college Economics curriculum, and suggest how individuals and the government can practise them to alleviate poverty and create a more equitable and prosperous economic environment for present and future generations.

Details

This will be an online event by Zoom Video conferencing, it will also be broadcasted live on Facebook. After the public lectures by the speakers, the last minutes of the event will be a question/answer section. And in the end, the recordings will be published on our website, a copy will be shared first with our local community and then, widely among the Rethinking Economics International Community.
