Change method

Letters

DEVELOPMENT is a growth process and is best measured with the Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI) or Basic Needs Approach (BNA).
Sometimes, we are clouded with false indicators of development through physical structures which are not humans but buildings and roads.
Since independence, billions were spent on infrastructures at great costs.
Our method of measuring poverty should change 45 years on from GNP/GDP to PQLI/BNA or we will continue reeling in great abyss of development fallacy.
