IMPERATIVES OF TINUBU'S "RENEWED HOPE" MANIFESTO......
NIGERIA needs help. As Nigerians, we must face the challenges of repositioning our country to positively transform into one of the top investment destinations in the world. All studies have shown that the country has what it takes to achieve this initial target....within a short time.
The document identifies that most of the challenges we face as a nation today are similar with those faced by other developing countries. First is the massive gap in transport Infrastructure......Roads, Rail, Aviation, Sea Ports and even more deficits in social infrastructure....Health facilities and medical Services, Education. The Agric sector and Power are also marked as top priorities. Among other innovative funding solutions, the Public Private Partnership model is envisaged.
Without progress in these sectors, it further implied, there will be zero manufacturing capacity and no industrial development will take place and thus the nation remains resources dependent. In view of the great opportunities presented by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Nigeria has to be cautious to avoid being a dumping ground for cheap goods from other African countries.
Any nation that relies on the export of her natural resources for mere survival is truly sitting on a time bomb. Natural resources are exhaustible items in addition to environmental issues that evolves with time. Proceeds from these resources should be used to sustainably enable the environment for a private sector driven economy and create good living standards for our people.
The revolutionary innovation is the loan proposal by the Government to those willing to proceed on higher studies. This programme is a game changer. It states that Nigerians have no business being poor.
It is the comprehension of the above objectives as contained in that concise document launched last year that elicited my desire to post this. I sincerely hope that these beautiful plans will be executed with precision. #nigeria #renewedhope #ppps #economy #economicdevelopment #infrastructure
