[9] Clothing, textiles and fashion items – $20bn
[10] Health and pharmaceutical services – $10bn
This would add $210bn to our current export earnings of about $50bn. Just imagine the difference it would make.
For me, 10 first steps that need to be taken to address these problems are:
[1] Beefing up security
[2] Banning the export of primary commodities
[3] Reaching an agreement among the numerous ethnic nationalities that make up Nigeria to to ensure peace
[4] Immediately abrogating the federal allocation formula
[5] Launching a nationwide campaign against our me, me, me culture
[6] Getting our National Orientation Agency to launch a war against vanity. Nothing breeds corruption as much as it
[7] Reducing the influence of religion in the daily life of the average Nigerian
[8] Launching an “If we can’t produce it, we don’t need it” campaign
[9] Getting every local government area to open at least one technical vocation college
[10] Getting every state to spend at least 30% of its budget on education. Our goal should be a 95% literacy rate and a 50% graduate rate
