100 million Nigerians living in poverty won’t provide revenue —Peter Obi

 

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.

As was done penultimate week by His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, Vice President of Nigeria (1999-2007) and presidential flag bearer of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Obi was there to present his economic blueprint. And as has become his trademark, he chose to speak extempore, fielding questions from industry operators and executives.

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. Chanting his mantra of ‘turning Nigeria from consumption to production’, Obi regaled his audience with figures and examples from other climes to pooh-pooh the present construct of Nigeria’s economic management.
