Last Monday, September 19, 2022, His Excellency, Dr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, was a guest of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, LCCI.
He said that “the government that’ll come in in 2023 will be confronted by an array of daunting challenges – both domestic and external.”
Vanguard News reports that Dr. Obi was there to present his economic blueprint.
He did not just present a blueprint, he spoke on some of the most crucial challenges confronting Nigeria, while presenting what he considers the best pathway to a productive economy.
He said:
I’m a trader by profession and I’m one of you; and being one of you, I share and understand your pains. As you know, the government that’ll come in in 2023 will be confronted by an array of daunting challenges – both domestic and external.
The domestic ones that accumulated over years and because of leadership pressure, has not been dealt with and these have impacted heavily on our unity, social cohesion and peoples trust in government, as well as economic outcomes that have affected us negatively. Where our country is, today is always about bad news.
We now have the highest concentration of people living in poverty, the highest number of out-of-school children, a high infant mortality rate, which is the highest in the world, high rate of youth unemployment. Coupled with all these, at this time, we are faced with an international challenge – coming out of COVID-19, which created a lot of challenges to global commerce, and supply chain issues; again, affecting even long-term global plans of climate change and issues of SDG. Nigeria has to deal with all these issues but as you know, Nigeria is not bereft of good ideas and plans.
Most of those ideas have even been preferred by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, LCCI, but institutional weaknesses and lack of political will to implement them has over the years affected the people.
