How I will diversify Nigerian economy — Tinubu
, on Monday unveiled his plan to diversify the Nigerian economy and create wealth for the development of the nation.
“There is no local government in Nigeria that has no resource or endowment that can be harnessed for greater economic development,” he said. “Aside the ongoing power intervention from the federal government, I know that the 19 Northern States and the FCT have incorporated a special purpose vehicle to build 100MW of Solar project per state to complement other power generation systems across the country.“These are the kind of initiatives I will encourage and support to revamp industrialization. We will accelerate the completion of the Mambilla hydro power project in view of its significance to our power and industrialization agenda.
“It is time to fetch water from a dry well and I, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have done it before and I will do it,” he said. “Luckily, each of our 36 states has its competitive advantage in the area of agriculture regard and if effectively exploited and harnessed, we will not only serve our domestic needs but make Nigeria a global competitor in agro-allied market.”
