Ayo Akinfe

[3] Free uniforms will be provided in all public schools nationwide

[4] One free school meal will be offered in all state primary and secondary school pupils nationwide

[2] I would build the world’s largest hydro-electric power plant at Lokoja capable of generating 30,000MW of electricity

Now that he has a new CBN governor in place, the next people Tinubu needs to invite to Aso Rock are religious leaders. He should refuse to let them leave the villa until they sign up to his Nigerian Religious Finance Masterplan

Ayo Akinfe

Even if we appoint the most brilliant economist on earth as our finance minister, he or she will never be able to crack the Nigerian economy without tapping into religious finance
