President Bola Ahmed Tinubu President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has disclosed his intention to replicate how he transformed the economic proficiency of Lagos across the six geopolitical zones in the country. He stated this while meeting with investors at the 29th edition of the Nigerian Economic Summit.
The summit which was organized by the Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning had in attendance government heads and private investors from all the 36 states in the country. President Tinubu seeks the opportunity of the gathering to call on the private investors to join hands with his administration to ensure that Nigeria achieves the Three Trillion Dollar National Infrastructure Stock Financing within ten years.
He vowed that if he enjoys the support of the private investors in the country, Nigeria will achieve the building of a megacity per geopolitical zone which will be worth the economic viability of Lagos State in less than 20 years.
He said it will only cost Nigeria cooperations, a fully networked and connected rail tracks, gas, fiber optics, and road network for the country to establish six industrial zones that can stand the feet of Lagos State across the nation before 2030.
Part of President Tinubu's speech at the summit reads “Let us build a future of renewed hope. My government is prepared. Are you ready?
"I am confident that by working closely with all of you in the private sector, financing our Three Trillion Dollar National Infrastructure Stock can be achieved in 10 years and not in 300 years. Building megacities in every geopolitical zone of the size and scale of Lagos must not take us another six decades. We can do it in ONE DECADE. A fully networked and connected Nigeria by rail, gas, fiber optics, and road network can be constructed in less than 20 years. Establishing thriving Industrial Zones in every part of Nigeria is possible before 2030”
