“10 Things I Will Do To Get Nigeria Working Again”- Atiku
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, PDP Presidential Candidate
The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has listed ten ways his administration will get Nigeria working again.
Abubakar lamented during the meeting that the structure of the country is not working, adding that Nigerians are not getting employment under the Buhari administration.
Having said this, Abubakar revealed that his administration envisions a new Nigeria that will have, as a minimum, seven basic features.
According to him, for the new Nigeria to work with the seven basic features, his administration must restore investor confidence in the Nigerian economy.
A statement issued by Paul Ibe, a media adviser to the PDP Presidential candidate lists the 10 pragmatic policies Abubakar plans to enact immediately should he be elected President in next month’s Presidential election as follows:
We will restore investor confidence on the Nigerian economy.
We will support the private sector by undertaking reforms to unleash its growth potential and to play a key role in the economy.
We will liberalise the economic space and privatise all ailing enterprises.
We will assist the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises to grow bigger and to be more productive.
We will prioritize Human Capital Development.
We will create jobs by growing the economy and promoting innovative flagship job creation programmes such as The National Open Apprenticeship Programme.
We will create an Economic Stimulus Fund with an initial investment capacity of approximately US$25 billion to support private sector investments in infrastructure.
We will improve liquidity by undertaking fiscal restructuring and improving the management of our fiscal resources
We will build strong and efficient service delivery institutions for more effective co-ordination of government policies and for effective support to the development of a dynamic and internationally competitive private sector.
We shall, through constitutional means, achieve a new political structure that guarantees freedoms and ensure government accountability at all levels.
