Tinubu, who spoke at the 11th Colloquium marking his 67th Birthday at a colourful event in Abuja, cautioned that whatever the administration intended to do must be done in such a way and manner that takes Nigerians away from penury and empower them economically.
After assessing the economic models and performance of many leading countries and highlighting the challenges associated with them, Tinubu counselled Buhari that a conscious effort must be made to build the Nigerian economy to work better for Nigerians as he assumes his second term in office.Tinubu said: “Our pursuit of the Next Level cannot be achieved by blindly following the economic path of other nations.
“We must amend our basic ideas about the economy. We must divorce ourselves from our fixation with GDP rates and similar statistics. These things were initially intended to be indicators, suggestive measurements. However, we have misinterpreted these road maps by treating them as if they were the destination itself.This dominant train of thought has made the people servants to the dictates of abstract economic theories.
He stated, “Affordable and reliable power will drive the industrialization that shall provide jobs in our cities and produce needed goods for all our people. In a more poetic rendering, it will take our people out of the dark ages and bring the nation into the light of a better day. “In working to transform the face of our economy, the government must also enact policies that encourage industrialization and modern agricultural practices. We must applaud President Buhari for the historic innovations made in the agricultural sector. We must further encourage him to do even more. Government-funded social security for the aged and government-backed affordable housing and mortgage facilities are things we must continue to explore in an aggressive manner.
“Mr. President, you have gone far these past few years in laying a good foundation for the economic recovery of the country. We shall go farther still so that Nigeria truly reaches the next level with you leading the way,” Tinubu said.
