Make farming extremely attractive.
I would build house, hospital and provide security for graduate that want to stay outside civilization and farm. Mechanized farming. Criminalize any form of violence against these people. Tag them as first class citizen.

Stop o make una stop. If you are not one of the presidential aspirants, don't answer this sicky question.

Is a questionaire to gather information which they (presidential aspirants) will use to decieve you during the upcoming campaign. If you give in, u are punishing urself. Don't they have heads, let them tell us what they will do

I will ensure that all hands would be on deck, to achieve this, I'll let every Nigerian know that security of lives and property is not just the sole responsibility of the government, but that of all because no one enjoys sleeping with one eye closed grin
As for the terrorists... Once caught, say bye bye to your freedom forever, it is a simple stuff grin
Have you considered saboteurs in government? Have you considered ethnic champions that will shout victimisation? Remember you cannot go after the terrorist yourself, you will still need to use the armed forces, some of whom are sympathetic to the terrorists? How will you deal with religious and tribal leaders that will bring sentiments to bear? Remember that some people shouted that fight against Boko Haram is fight against a section of the country?

What strategy will you use to bring them in?



What incentives? What system will you put in place to ensure that the incentives reach those that really deserve it?

3

What kind of welfare policy? Give concrete policy. How do you get the funds, given the high debt-to-GDP ratio?



This is clear and direct. Who will retrain them? Where will the trainers come from and how do you make your own different from several training schemes that have failed in the past. Any new and effective blueprint?

5

Job centers? Sounds interesting but what kind of jobs? Who will be the employer footing the bills if it's salaried job?



This is clear and very good point. However, how do you motivate the 'well-meaning Nigerians to do this"? Any strategy?



This is clear and direct.

8

Sounds interesting. What are you going to do differently from the status quo that will ensure that this is realized. I hope it is not just by mere declaration?




How? What are you going to do differently from what is/ already being done in the area of security?
Bro I love this.. I love the way u picked them out ND became more specific in the questions.. see, practical steps on how to mk this unemployment monster dissapear should b what we all be focused on instead of generalization

I told you what I'd do. The truth is all that's necessary. If they don't accept oh well no big deal. They can stagnate in poverty and disfunction as they please. Lol it's unpopular so what? Unpopular policies pass all the time with little push back. They protest and strike in I'll simply fire people ban them from the civil service like Ronald Reagan. If they're private sector another company will fill the void.

1. Bring in investors to create a stable power supply.

2.Give incentives to Nigerians who will produce what we consume(full scale industrialisation).We need to be the economic power house of Africa.

3. Create a welfare policy and plan for poor Nigerians.We will start with children in the first 4 years.

4.All artisans must get licensing fees and retrained by govt specialized agencies.

5. We will create a job Centres in every local govt to match Jobs with skills,retrain and counsel Nigerians.

6.Educational centers need to be upgraded to World standards.We will create a trust funds well meaning Nigerians can donate to find community projects.

7.Youths between the ages of 18-30 years must go on compulsory one year military training.

8.Students in all institutions of learning shall be requested to come up with innovations every year.The “theme” of such innovations will vary from Year to Year.

9.Ensure security of lives and properties.Each region shall have a forum where they meet to discuss challenges facing them and profer possible solutions every month.
I will only comment one 1 & 2 and then if i have time on the others

1. This is a no brainer but it will be impossible to do, because of the following. Firstly from the point of view of the investor, no investor will want to come into Nigeria, with a history of policy flipflops, the price of electricity is not cost reflective , coupled with the laws of generating, transmitting and distributing are no not streamlined. The kind of investors one is talking about are the GE & Siemens type, as they are ones with the financial muscles for this. From the point of view of the populace, they have gotten high bills from NEPA(PHCN) with no corresponding power being given, coupled with that is that the purchasing power of the populace has been eroded by the gross mismanagement of the Buhari administration. So there are no likeable solutions neither are they easy.
However, the first we must safeguard is the investor. Nigeria does not have the amount of money needed to upscale the power gradually so people can feel it, besides there is a gulf of mistrust from the citizenry. Another option is to Borrow but we all have that past bad results and this will likely not be an easy sell neither will it sail through
ONLY SOMEONE WHO HAS ENOUGH POLITICAL CAPITAL CAN PULL THIS OFF. SOMEONE PEOPLE CAN TURST. PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO TAKE SOME PAIN BUT WHEN THEY SEE THE LEADERSHIP NOT TAKING THE SAME OR GREATER PAIN THEN YOU ARE AT A LOSS, WHICH IS WHY I BELIEVE THE LIKES OF TINUBU AND ATIKU CANNOT CHANGE THE COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY POLITICAL CAPITAL . IF THEY ENTER AND TRY IT , PEOPLE WILL RESIST ANY INCREASE IN PRICE IN ELECTRICITY E BECAUSE THEY SEE THEM LIVING LIKE KINGS(THEY DONT WANT TO FEEL ANY PAIN) AND THEY WANT EVERYBODY ELSE TO PICK/FEEL THE PAIN, BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO SAME (CUT THE COST OF GOVERNANCE). LEADESHIP IS BY EXAMPLE NOT COMMAND. PEOPLE SIMPLY DO NOT TRUST THEM. i AM NOT SOLD ON OBI BUT , WE ARE SEEING PEOPLE HAVE HOPE IN HIM AND THAT IS SOMETHING ONE CANNOT BUY.
I wrote the above in capital because that is the starting point. the following is needed: First we need to make laws that make it possible for states or regions(I believe we should go back 6 regions) to generate, transmit and distribute without going to the national grid. Also we have to accept that fingers are not equal. Some places will get electricity running quicker than others, places where investors know they can get huge ROI because it is a risk to invest in a junk status country like Nigeria. SO places like Lagos, P/H, Abuja, Abeokuta/Otta might see investments first. Government must be willing to allow this. We must give the investors free hand, like GE or Siemens, so they have control of the whole value chain form generating to distributing to homes, with cost reflective prices . If more pipelines need to be built in these places so be it. So to facilitate this, you must have a one-stop shop for this. call it whatever , but this place must be run like a Project Management Office (PMO) and they have the ears of the president.

Which brings me back to another thing. Anyone who enters that has political capital, should be quick. Fully deregulate the fuel and electricity and the subsidy pour into something people can feel, more on that later. Such a person should be priming the people, and once he has his cabinet(not like Buhari after 6 months, but any serious person, should form his cabinet within 7 to 14 days, for they must hit the ground running). deregulate quickly, say one month after taking power.

A serious government would have had discussions before entering office, but it wont be easy!!!

2. The solution is to restructure. If anyone is not considering restructure to move us to a producing country, then please dont waste peoples time. The current system does not reward or incentivize innovation. Most of the states in Nigeria are not doing anything, and are not viable, and so the states that can be productive -their wealth is being shared with others that do not do anything and do not want to exploit their human and natural resources. This cannot be. In my opinion we need to restructure Nigeria into 6 regions/development centers (in other of economic strength and innovation -SW, SS, SE, NW, NC, NE)and the areas that produce more will get most of their wealth back-revenues. That way you are rewarding hardwork and discouraging laziness. The regions that dont have enough to stand like NC, NE.government should assist them by investing this areas-and they must look for what they can produce on a industrial scale).

Also we must learn to think. Agriculture is good, but if we want to drag people from poverty , Technology/Manufacturing is the way forward. Take a look at the whole west africa, we are all into agriculture( let us leave subsistence farming for other African countries-let the place like NW-mechanize their agriculture), what we really need is to focus on Tech and manufacturing (from cars, tractors, shoes, equipment, agro-processing)-we are the largest English speaking country in Africa, and we are located at the trigger of Africa on the map. Our foreign policy is too docile, we just follow the west and do not court others , if the west want our support then we will only trade it with huge financial inputs, else we stay neutral and court others- This conflict is a gold mine, to play your cards to both the west and china/Russia axis. This is what even the Saudis and Indians are doing but our docile Buhari criticized Russia and for what? his continued medical tourism to the UK? For us to really crack tech and manufacturing, part of the subsidy removal money should flow into our educational institutions & to support our industries. Each tech/manufacturing facilities should be tied to an institution of higher learning(they will be the problem solvers for the industries operational problems)-This must be done on purpose. We have a diaspora of unparalleled intelligence, our embassies should earn their money and invite them., maybe have then visit Nigeria and give us directions, once they see we are serious , they could pioneer new industries.

We need to professionalize/train and standardize our artisans, this should be part of the subsidy removal money. our mechanics, police, builders, welders, plumbers- so they are do things faster and with super quality, (good soup na money cause am). We ,then, have to protect our industries and people. Dangote is building a refinery and importing foreigners, indians, that should not be so, no matter how rich billionaires indians are in their country they cannot bring low paid foreigners to work in their country, Why are we allowing dangote and others do such? I can go on. I have a write up on this, and can share

How can you dash 1.4billion to a foreign government ? Is it how oyibo do their own donations?
Have you seen German government wanting to donate cars to Nigeria and decide to donate Toyota?
Sebi we get stupid people managing us and yet they don’t know how to create jobs or keep jobs back here.
Re: If Your Are The President Of Nigeria How Exactly Will You Fight Unemployment by grandstar(m):
How will I solve unemployment problem? I would go about it this way.

First find out what economic growth rate is needed to produce any jobs to cater to those entering the job market for the first time each year, then be determined to either attain it or surpass that rate.

It is estimated that a country like Nigeria needs about 7% economic growth to provide sufficient jobs to cater to that demography. I would notch it up to 8% to factor in the power sector as many labour intensive businesses will suffer due to power deficits.

How to achieve an 8% annual economic growth rate? Simply apply what has worked in other countries and focus on simple to implement reforms.

1. Reduce corporate tax to 15% or less.

Why reduce corporate taxes? Low corporate have always been a sure winner in driving massive investments. Businesses are eager to invest when corporate taxes are low. That was the secret of Ireland's transformative boom.

Ireland cut its corporate tax to 12.5% and foreign companies flooded it with investments. The same is happening in Central Europe. Slovakia, a country with only 5m people now produces 700,000 new automobiles yearly simply due to the fact that it was the first central European company that slashed its corporate tax to below 20%, actually 19%.

An investment boom will definitely boost growth and achieve 8% annual growth rate.

2. Bring down commercial lending rates to less than 10%

The biggest bane to Nigerian business isn't the power sector but rather, costly commercial bank rates. High rates of 25% discourage investment or business expansions and leaves Nigerian companies with low productivity and uncompetitive. .

Henry Boyo has said that ending the Naira substitution policy which leaves excess money in circulation when the CBN disburses crude oil dollar earnings in Naira to the 3 arms of government each month. He has suggested the payment instead be dollarized and put an end to this excess money scourge as the CBN is compelled to use costly bonds to mop up the excess money. End the excess money and there'll be no need for costly treasury bills to mop it up, and in extension, commercial bank lending rates will plummet to the single digit domain.

Affordable commercial bank credit would lead to a revolution and also drive an investment boom, especially from Nigerian owned businesses. Nigerian businesses would be unrecognizable after 8 years.

The 2 reforms above should achieve an 8-10% economic growth rate for at least 10 years before cooling off.

The first reform is easy to implement. The second too is achievable especially if it is sold to states as a means to reduce their cost of servicing their debts. Imagine paying 6% instead of 15% on your debt-won't that be a fantastic?

This is a very good, rational thinking. Although rather than considering these proposed solutions as standalone, deliberate efforts should be made to employ system approach that will consider tradeoffs that maximizes benefits. We need sincere, detribalised think-tank, political capital (just like you said). Buhari had the best political capital in Nigeria's modern history but he appeared to squander the priceless 'political capital' to get many things working. I do not blame him entirely because the structure of the country stiffles growth and does not encourage efficient management.

Untrue! Many substantial donations are from foreign government to advance their interest but do it by patronising their local businesses. In our case, we have company manufacturing and some assembly cars but our government chose to strengthen Japanese economy instead of ours. Yet the government doesn’t know how to create jobs

As a president of this country, reduction of taxes from various govt agencies will usually brings about creation of employment opportunities from various sectors in area of fiscal and monetary policies.


Insecurity is another factor hindering job creation, I will make sure that strategic management techniques is used to solve this which will eventually reduces unemployment rate to the barest minimum.

Jobs would be created in the below sectors

Agricultural sector

Health sector

Transport sector

Renewable energy

Education sector

Housing sector

Etc

Currently we are running wasteful government which makes the debt incurred far more than the generated revenues , all hands must be on deck to fight this so that more jobs can be created

Never in the history of our return to democracy has govt patronise local car manufacturer like In no son motors. NPF, NA, FRSC among others have bunch of them. Yesterday in Abuja i was marvelled at the sight of more than 15 In no son motors in a single convoy of NPF.

Never in the history of our return to democracy has govt patronise local car manufacturer like In no son motors. NPF, NA, FRSC among others have bunch of them. Yesterday in Abuja i was marvelled at the sight of more than 15 In no son motors in a single convoy of NPF.
Remember, quality matters in most cases.

If u really want to derail then just go ahead and spit the shit out of you. Have u ever known local content executive order before?
Have we ever patronised local product like now before?
Whatever the case may be, jobs have always been scarce since 1960 but u need to expnatiate if the previous lowest patronage of our local products gave more jobs or the current ups....
Concerning govt, banditry or whatever that one isn't my case, get someone to discuss with cool cool

Did I mentioned Toyota in all my responses?
What I want you to know is Nigerian car manufacturers' are receiving fair patronage from govt and you need to know that no any Nation in the world that monopolise or mandate her agencies to purchase only from local products because we all need one another!

Pro market policies: off the top of my head

• no more multiple exchange rates
• deregulated industry (generally make it easier to start and do business)
• remove price controls
• no more important ban list
• land & mineral rights reform: ownership to individuals instead of federal government monopoly of ownership.
I know 1,2 and 3 are already in Atiku's manifesto. I am not sure about the last 2.
