Omojuwa mentioned that out of 100 most influential people in the world, according to TIME Magazine are five Nigerians, saying that the country will not achieve enough because of how the laws are designed.

He stressed the need for immediate intervention on sustainable growth policies, adding that Nigerians are vast intellectually but struggling to make impacts in the country due policies deficiency.
“In the presence of entrepreneurship spirit, we will continue to witness set back due to bad policies. Nigerians are creating things that we didn’t imagine years ago because of access to mobile phones and social media, we can now have unethical policemen caught in extra judicial killing,
That will be innovation for justice because we can start recording bad things. Imagine if government legalizes that, it would reduce injustice, kidnapping and other immoral activities,” he explained.
