How can you produce without infrastructure, how many companies can come in to your country without infrastructure lack of infrastructure is what is causing inflation due to the high cost of production and the distribution chain. The second one is insecurities.The fact is that we are too far behind in infrastructure.

You boost the micro economy first. Get small and medium scale businesses producing. When it is time for doing Macro businesses, the purchase will come from local production.

That is how you drive the economy. From down up. Not from top down.

Obi is a fraud. A fraud that says infrastructure doesn't drive economy.

Bro let's discuss on this topic...

How on Earth will u say building infrastructure is the main way of driving economy.... Yes infray drives economy but it's a policy undertaken by economics when there is a down turn in economic growth.. this is . In period of recession...

But in an ideal moment if a president is aiming to ginger an economy.. it's best to encourage massive investment, be it foreign or local... And. Off all the types of investment that has been proven to help economic growth... Production has. Been the. Most viable.. because in production.. the GDO and. gNP of a Nation grows.. employment rate. Grows.. national income grows, trade deficit is reduced, exchange rate appreciate and international respect and export grows... So in which way is insfrastrure as a means of driving the economy now surerer than investment I. E production...?

Explain sir... I am waiting... And plz don't chicken out

Listen to me, I don't do argument of sentiments and ignorance here, check my comments on Nairaland.

Now tell me how railways built by Ameachi have improved the economy?

I know what railways do to a country economy, as a means of transportation, railway is important because it facilities easy movement of raw materials and finished goods for the manufacturers and farmers alike.

When being developed, it creates heavy revenue for the state.

Now, has Nigeria benefitted the aforementioned since Ameachi bought coaches that travels from Abuja to Kaduna?

Go to countries like China and India and see how railways are being used. Today transporting a 100kg bag of rice from Adamawa state to Lagos state is more than 5000 naira, and they say we have railways, so what is the UAE of the said railways.

I doubt if you have entered these rail coaches because the last time I checked, only Abuja to Kaduna route is currently functional.

How Can a reasonable Administration Leave the Jos/Benue (food Hub) Rail Lines to construct a rail line to Niger Republic....
APC failed Nigerians and don't deserve to be Back ....

Buhari killed Nigeria by appointing Governors as Ministers. Buhari killed Nigeria by using Ministerial appointments as compensation for APC party loyalty. Governors that know nothing about national economy were appointed to lead national economic plans, how will it work? Imagine appointing Fashola a Lawyer as Minister of Power, isn't that madness? It can never happen anywhere else in the world, only in Buhari's Nigeria.


Obasanjo and Goodluck's regimes worked because they didn't appoint politicians as ministers, instead they looked beyond tribe, religion and party to scout for competent technocrats who have proven hands on experience for each field to mann the various ministries and MDAs.


Compare Obasanjo and Goodluck's Ministerial appointees and cabinet members with failure Buhari's own, you will see why Buhari is a perpetual failure.



How can you use ministerial appointments to appease even failed Governors and still expect positive changes in the Nigerian economy?


Obasanjo and Goodluck brought quality technocrats like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Prof Soludo, Sanusi, Dr Akinwunmi Adesina, Amina Mohammed and many others into limelight by appointing them to handle key ministerial positions and their government flourished.



Instead Buhari was busy using ministerial and other appointments to reward party mercenaries and to solidify Fulani evil agenda in Nigeria and you people expect positive changes.



You come to the insecurity in Nigeria today, Buhari pioneered it. When he started that madness in 2016, Igbos screamed, Yorubas shut them down and rather tagged them wailers and 5%. Igbos continued to lament that why is Buhari abandoning Federal Character and appointing only Hausa-Fulani Muslims into key security positions, Yorubas said it doesn't matter, that what matters is for them to deliver. Igbos continued screaming, with them Yorubas realized Buhari had evil agenda of turning Nigeria to a crises and war torn nation it has become today, but they decided to keep shut so that they can hoodwink Buhari and the North into helping them install Tinubu as President after Buhari.



Yorubas don't care how many Yorubas or other tribes are killed before they achieve their selfish agenda of cunningly installing a Yoruba man as President in 2023.



Now they have started another madness called Muslim-Muslim ticket and claiming it doesn't matter so long as they deliver, deliver how ? So there are no competent Christians in the North to pair with Tinubu? So only Muslims in the North have sense of leadership ?



I don't blame you Muslims, I blame the gullible, I too know Christians who don't see beyond your evil agenda

How is building and getting necessary equipment for school not a solution to building the economy.

How is becoming a producing nation instead of a consuming one not a solution to building the economy?

How is cutting unecessary cost and channelling these same fund to important things not a solution to grow the economy?

How is investment in SMEs not a solution to growing the economy.

One thing you must understand about Peter Obi supporters is that they are learned and they can relate to his policies. I know what Peter Obi knows, because I am in same field, and I know those are what Nigeria needs.

Oga when you know all those, what have there done about it? You are here killing yourself over mere statement you barely understand , which instances it was made, Is peter obi now buhari ? is peter APC? Was peter obi a minister for the past 7 years of your darling ApCheat regime?

Fashola and Obi are not mates.

One major drawback of Obi is that he talks a lot and if you delve deep into what he is saying most times, it is hard to correlate his words into tangible solutions for the economy.

Furthermore, a lot of youths shouting Obi really do not even bother to critique his ideas or solutions. To them it is simply about being "Obidient"

Abeg obidient to what? Most don't even know.

The question is how can you claim to invest in infrastructure that is driving the economy and yet the economy is far worst that what you met? Are you saying you are not aware of the economic collapse under this Crazy set of ppl? Can you honestly tell us the state of Nigerian Economy. The greatest problem of this country is the citizens.

Some of you guys are not smart honestly. It's all about party and tribalism for you.
Fashola's explanation is quite weak and you guys cannot even see it. It's a shame.
Driving an economy is not about providing funds to workers in the short term cos any means of spending money will do the same.
An infrastructure can only be beneficial in driving the economy if it helps to increase foreign exchange earnings either by reducing imports or increasing exports, improve industrialization, improve supply of products and provide permanent employment to workers.
If driving the economy is all about provision of jobs, the host of Nigerian importers in the major markets are also driving the economy, but we know it is in the negative sense.
Borrowing to build railways and bridges in a country that has no power and access roads to many local and agrarian communities where raw materials and food are, is a negative way to drive economy. No wonder Nigeria now uses over 80% of it's revenue generation to service loans.
Talking about borrowing loans from China to build infrastructure, go and read about Sri Lanka and their debt crisis. You will understand that Nigeria will soon be in hot soup.

How can you in all honesty compare Peter Obi to fashola? These are two different people by all means. Fashola, is a lawyer and might excel in that field he knows about.
Obi on the other hand is a seasoned businessman. From his father down to him. An educated one at that. That has excelled both in Nigeria and even in the western world. And I mean at the highest level of both private and corporate world. A person that has workedout and handled money!
See, the major problem with Nigeria is that neophytes are placed in positions of responsibility beyond their experience or capacity.
Eg, you place fashola as minister of works or power and expect him to use agbari, street sense to rough it? Howww.
You make a person, someone that has not seen ₦1m today you put him in position of handling ₦1b, what do you think will happen? He will squander the money!
Go and look at obi's track record in personal life, education, personal business, corporate business, in government and compare him to any of the other candidates.

But PO didn't make Anambra so rich the money he saved has been used to build airport and that's all

How would you grow an economy without infrastructure would a company site it's company if the roads are bad and the power supply you mentioned isn't that also an infrastructure?

Nigeria should be cashing out from gas sales now assuming it has the infrastructure on ground for exploration but we don't have that's why we haven't been able to sell our gas to foreign countries.


Infrastructure comes first before an economy can grow construct roads, generate and supply enough power and the economy would grow.

DO YOU KNOW
that NNPC refineries (Warri, Kaduna etc) is there receiving trillions of naira and producing NOTHING.

sometime Last year or 2019, Govt spent over $3bn on ajaokuta steel, nothing is showing.

Fashola is minister of power for 7yrs, huge amount of money has been spent in that period on power, but generator is still a must have gadget for any home in the country.

Many state airports are constructed with trillions, yet very few are functional and maybe Abuja, Lagos Kano are the ones generating anything significant( others are there receiving renovation money every two years just to have a runway).

We can't afford to borrow money and spend on things that will not help many people.
The ones we spend on, we must be ready to keep it working for the country.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT is very essential.

We build so many universities that are poorly funded with few structures and lowly ranked in the world.

Infrastructure is good but it depends on what type. We lack power, a key component of industry, yet we like building unequipped schools and hospitals.
it will be difficult for development to thrive without power, especially now diesel prices are hovering at #1000 naira for a litre,it is even now a matter of national security to fast track whatever can be done to improve power,at a nearby sme close to our farm their daily fuel bill used for production has skyrocketed from #15000 naira daily to #50,000 naira,the management has no option but to shut down,sacking 5 workers and the cascading domino effect spreading to relatives and other smaller businesses that depend on the sme for survival, Nigeria is balanced on a knife edge and will need a leader with vibrant mindset and fresh ideas to pull us through this darkest of days,not going back to the old days of money politics and sharing bags of rice and beans every 4 years,we don't want the money,rice or beans again,we are not beggars but patriotic citizens of Nigeria that only needs a leader for us to follow
