I would love to see our National Assembly pass a bill compelling the presidency to set annual national production targets like this every New Year’s Day

Ayo Akinfe

[1] Steel - 10m tonnes

[2] Cocoa - 1.5m tonnes

[3] Natural gas - 100m cubic metres

[4] Rice - 10m tonnes

[5] Distributed electricity - 20,000MW

[6] Tarred roads - 200,000km

[7] Assembled automobiles - 500,000 units

[8] Bitumen - 10m tonnes

[9] Palm oil - 20m tonnes

[10] Clean energy - 5,000MW

Any minister who fails to meet his targets should be removed from office and face a statutory charge of economic sabotage, which should attract a minimum one year jail sentence. If we want Nigeria to advance, we must be prepared to force the pace of development.
