Olawepo-Hashim Unveils Blueprint, Scores APC Low On Economy
https://leadership.ng/2018/11/05/olawepo-hashim-unveils-blueprint-scores-apc-low-on-economy/

The presidential candidate of the People’s Trust un the 2019 election , Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, is unimpressed with the economic management style of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), which he claimed had led to widespread poverty amongst Nigerians.

He regretted that “APC’s woeful failure has put 88 million Nigerians into acute poverty while 1.1million got into that bracket in the last four months despite relatively high oil price.”

In an interactive session with journalists at the weekend in Abuja, the presidential candidate said that Nigerians were getting poorer because of the poor economic management strategy of the APC government, adding that “even though Nigeria was not a prosperous economy when President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office, the economy has become worse.”

The cerebral politician said that the recent revelation by the Brooklyn Institute that 88 million Nigerians now live under acute poverty was disappointing, especially that a new one million Nigerians moved into the poverty bracket within the last four months.

Olawepo-Hashim noted that the data from youth unemployment, job losses seems like the APC had a “covenant with poverty and misery. There is no reason for this when oil prices is high.”

He vowed to cut down acute poverty by half in the country within five years of his election as president and commander-in-chief, and also set the nation’s economy on the path of modernisation and all-round development.

Olawepo-Hashim said: “Our new Nigerian Economic Development plan will create $4 trillion Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 10 years by the grace of God. We target to net five percent of global infrastructure funds in 10 years by removing obstacles to investments and rapidly increase the ease of doing business in Nigeria.

“We will promote an innovative economy by protecting proprietary rights of innovators and the sanctity of agreement. We will integrate agriculture, solid mineral sector with industries and increase manufacturing share of the GDP to 40 percent and then tackle unemployment through industry-based jobs,” he said.

According to him, “the transformation of Nigeria’s economy from a poor 510 billion economy to a $4 trillion economy within 10 years, the reduction in poverty and the restoration of peace, unity and stability in Nigeria, a country that the ruling party has badly mismanaged remain my mission.

“I am therefore better placed to bring the country back together. I am most assured I can get the job done given my record of accomplishment,” he said, adding that “I will restructure the economy from a dependent one to a self-reliant economy by investing in iron and steel, research and development, and in other critical sectors,” he said.

These critical sectors, he would pursue include “chemical and machine tools, so as to generate the production of capital goods, local capital and to bring in prosperity, through the needed multipliers.”

The business mogul with substantial interest in oil exploration and energy generation further promised to implement a New Economic Development Programme (NEDP) which will lead to the expansion of Nigeria’s GDP.

Besides, the NEDP will also increase the Per Capital Income (PCI) of the average Nigerian to between $16,000 and $18,000 within 10 years as well. This, to him, will make Nigeria to be at par with middle-income countries such as Malaysia, with whom “we had comparable income level at independence.”

The politician said that NEDP would target an estimated $2 trillion into infrastructure within 10 years and create jobs from manufacturing, industrialisation, and link up industries with solid minerals and the agricultural sector.

Everyone but zoneBs and d govt agrees dat d economy is bad... D govt wants U to believe it is only d PDP dat is complaining of d economy while ZonBs want U to believe it is only Igbos dat are complaining

I see

Hypocrisy is when you are drumming for 10 years economic recovery plan but blame an administration that is less than 4 years in power.

daddy

The best opportunity to redeem our country is now, by voting a brand new person who has never been in power or return APC to power. if APC is returned to power, we would have succeeded in ending political career of PDP thieves, we would then wait for APC to return power to new generations guys. i know those who are reasonable will agree but those blinded by hates and unable to think independently will attack.
