[1] We want to get all Nigerian trains to operate using electricity as from 2026. Diesel engines will be phased out over the next two years
[2] Within five years, we plan to turn Nigeria into the world’s largest manufacturers of rail carriages and engines. Today, India calls itself the pharmacy of the world. Nigeria aims to do something identical with rail

[1] Security
Provide funding for geo-political zone, state or local government security outfits to combat the current insecurity menace. Our current security architecture is wholly inadequate
[2] Restructuring
No matter how you cut it, Nigeria is going nowhere unless we end our dependence on crude oil and get the states to start acting as federating units. Our states need help to stand on their own two feet

[1] Do you know that Nigeria is the only country on the world that had three slave shipping ports? We had Calabar, Lagos and Badagry, all if which shipped human cargo to the New World in mega quantities. It is crystal clear that without Nigeria there simply would never have been the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade or the global industrial buying and selling of human cargo. It is payback time. Britain owes us big time!

Contrary to what many Nigerians think, the total lack of understandable, consistent, logical and coherent government economic policy is the main reason behind our under-development as a nation and not corruption. Even if you totally eliminate corruption, you still need to invest the proceeds for it to make any difference in people’s lives

[1] Nigeria is not short of land for farming as we have about 37m hectares of arable farmland, representing about 40% of our landmass. However, farming is not just about land alone
[2] We are the world’s sixth largest food producer but yet, we do not have bargain basement prices because of our high production costs. Storage, transportation and distribution are huge factors when it comes to the food supply chain
