The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has presented his manifesto for next year’s election before Northern leaders.
He promised to champion the cause of “an indivisible and prosperous Nigeria”, while also vowing to build on President Muhammadu Buhari’s infrastructural revolution.
Tinubu promised the leaders that he will return ‘out-of-school children, to school and make the North a hub of agricultural business in Sub-Saharan Africa.
His words: “Our economic plan would utilize the vast natural resources we have, through strategic investment in infrastructure, which will lead to the diversification of the economy and wealth creation across the entire country. We will pay attention to modern economic drivers such as the digital economy, creative industries, and sports and entertainment sectors for the benefit of our young people.
“Under my leadership, the Nigerian government will be business-friendly. We shall support private businesses in our country and attract foreign direct investment to create jobs, re-industrialize our country and accelerate economic development. Nigerian businesses in sectors like banking and cement have successfully ventured out of the country to build thriving subsidiaries.
“We will build a strong domestic economy, expand the capacity of our domestic market to support growth, and encourage export capacity in the areas of our competitive advantage. We have the endowments to be a prosperous country. I will lead a renewed push to move us from the status of a nation of potential into a country of actual accomplishments as an economic dynamo.”
