The World Economic Forum (WEF) Geneva,
Switzerland produces a yearly report to measure
countries and regions competitiveness among
Nations of the world using Global Competitiveness
Index (GCI)
This presentation focuses on Nigeria’s GCI rating
from 2006 – 2012 on the 4444thththth PillarPillarPillarPillar:::: HealthHealthHealthHealth andandandand

healthy and viable our Health and Primary
Education are over a period of 7years as this would
help know where more efforts need to be applied in
order to achieved better growth and development.

A healthy workforce is vital to a country’s competitiveness and
productivity. Workers who are ill cannot function to their potential and
will be less productive. Poor health leads to significant costs to business,
as sick workers are often absent or operate at lower levels of efficiency.
Investment in the provision of health services is thus critical for clear
economic, as well as moral, considerations.
In addition to health, this pillar takes into account the quantity and quality
of the basic education received by the population. Basic education
increases the efficiency of each individual worker. Moreover, workers
who have received little formal education can carry out only simple
manual tasks and find it much more difficult to adapt to more advanced
production processes and techniques, and therefore contribute less to
come up with or execute innovations.
In other words, lack of basic education can become a constraint on
business development, with firms finding it difficult to move up the value
chain by producing more sophisticated or value-intensive products with
existing human resources.
There were 10 indicators used to measure the
viability of Nigeria’s Health and Primary Education:
� Business impact of malaria� Malaria cases/100,000 population� Business impact of tuberculosis� Tuberculosis cases/100,000 population� Business impact of HIV/AIDS� HIV prevalence� Infant mortality, deaths/1,000 live births� Life expectancy, years� Quality of primary education� Primary education enrollment
Indicators 1, 3, 5 and 9 were measured on a scale of 1 – 7.Indicator 6 and 10 were measured in percentage.

A country cannot be more healthy than the health of her
Citizens. It is a healthy workforce that can contribute to the
growth of businesses and in turn the economy.
No thanks to Gov’t allocations to the Health sector which
according to professionals is a child’s play compared to other
Nations. This has shown as Gov’t officials and their allies
prefer to seek medical attention in Germany, Saudi Arabia,
Israel and India.
Nigeria currently ranks 142nd of 144 Nations in Health and Primary Education.
In each Indicator, Nigeria is ranked from
101st in Tuberculosis cases to 140th in
Primary Education Enrollment.
