The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has promised to run private sector-driven economy and channel the path to economic recovery if elected President in next month\u2019s election.<\/p>\n

Tinubu stated this speaking at the organised private sector under the aegis of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He told the gathering made up of economic experts and businessmen that the current security challenge must be resolved first to set the economic agenda in motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, to achieve the economy<\/a> we seek, we must resolve the pressing security issues. No nation can flourish with terrorists and kidnappers in their midst,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Tinubu during his interface with the NESG described the private sector as very important to his economic plan, stressing: \u201cMy core belief is that the private sector must be the prime driver of economic progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing, he said: \u201cHowever, the government establishes the framework within which the private sector must operate. If that framework is sound, the private sector will flourish. If the framework is frail or incomplete, then the private sector will struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Lagos State governor said his administration would urgently address fiscal, monetary and trade reforms to effectively increase domestic production, thus serving to curb imported inflation and ensure better macro-economic stability by accelerating inclusive growth and job creation across Nigeria<\/p>\n

Principles expected to guide his plans and policies, he said, would tackle inflation, petrol subsidy and monetary policy.<\/p>\n

Tinubu said, \u201cI do not hold to the mainstream view that all forms of inflation are best tackled by interest rate hikes and shrinking the economy. Supply induced inflation does not lend itself to this harsh medicine, just as one does not cure a headache by plucking out one\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not embrace the conventional wisdom that fiscal deficits by the national government are inherently bad. All governments, especially in this era of fiat currency, run secular budget deficits. This is an inherent part of modern governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most powerful and wealthiest governments run deficits, as do the poorest nations. A budget deficit is not necessarily bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citing Japan with its high borrowing and low inflation as an example, Tinubu<\/a>\u00a0said: \u201cThe real issue is whether deficit spending is productive or not. Unproductive deficit spending is a compound negative, especially if backed by excessive borrowing of foreign currency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not classroom economics but it is the lesson of the real economic history of nations. It is based on this idea that I believe we must remove the PMS subsidy immediately. It has outlived its shelf life as a public good.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will neither subsidise neighbouring countries\u2019 fuel consumption nor allow a select few to reap windfall profits and hoard products.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the subsidy money will not be \u2018saved\u2019 because that means elimination from the economy. Instead, we will redirect the funds into public infrastructure, transportation, affordable housing, education and health, and strengthen the social safety net for the poorest of the poor, thus averting increased security challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cFiscal policy will be the main driver. Monetary policy is weaker and a less effective instrument. Bad monetary policy is, of course, destructive. But even good monetary policy cannot carry the load the fiscal arm can.<\/p>\n

\u201cThus, we must steadily remove ourselves from the fiction of tying our budgets to dollar denominated oil revenues. This is effectively pegging our budget to a dollar standard. It is as outdated as the fuel subsidy itself. It is also restrictive and ties the economy to slow growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as the common man must mentally sever the cord to the subsidy, the elite must sever the cord to this artificial fiscal restraint.\u201d<\/p>\n

On budgeting, Tinubu said it would be based on the projected spending levels needed to push real annual growth rate above 10 per cent while reducing the unemployment rate so that the economy can be doubled in seven years.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, he plans to expand the manufacturing base to provide jobs and also create affordable goods and products for the population.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our industries to thrive, they need inputs, many of which are agriculture based.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe present administration has invested heavily in agriculture, providing loans and expanding the country\u2019s total area of cultivated land for crops, livestock and fisheries. We will also promote vibrant commodity exchanges that will guarantee minimal pricing for produce,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe will build on this, with a focus on using technology and expertise to accelerate growth in yields. We will deliver the critical infrastructure necessary to achieve the commodity transformations and agribusinesses to plug seamlessly into higher, more lucrative entry points in regional and global value chains.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on this foundation, we will accelerate the faithful implementation of the \u201cInfrastructure Master Plan\u201d by adopting proven financing structures till we deliver an acceptable stock of hard infrastructure through seaports and airports; and road, rail and water transportation linkages that can support our desired economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cFixing the perennial problem of energy supply is a top priority. There is no version of the world where Nigeria\u2019s ambitions for itself can be achieved without solving the problem of how to provide energy to homes and businesses across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we need to do, going forward, is to improve the enabling environment, further decentralise transmission and deliver cost reflective tariffs to attract more private investments in the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other planned measures to reverse unemployment include focusing on the creative sector.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cTaking the creative sector as one example of a sector that already engages millions of our youths, the sector has significant untapped potential for generating quality jobs and foreign exchange earnings for our country.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom music to movies to fashion, when elected, our Administration will create a legal environment that can attract much-needed private investment into the sector, eliminate widespread piracy and copyrights issues, as well as support the development of quality hard infrastructure needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reviewing the current economic situation in the country, the former Lagos State governor said the restrictions placed on import and foreign exchange to promote industrialization has inadvertently led to smuggling, reduced revenues, impoverished consumers and raised production costs for firms.<\/p>\n

To solve this, he said his administration would improve transparency and move towards a unified exchange rate.<\/p>\n

By relaxing stifling trade and capital control policies, he said domestic and foreign investors would be encouraged to invest more in the economy.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThus, unification of the Naira exchange and the transparency it creates will be a top priority of this administration when elected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides, Tinubu said his administration would \u201cwork to ensure all borrowing is geared towards productive economic activity, focusing on internal debt discipline.<\/p>\n

\u201cClosing fiscal gaps, promoting domestic revenue mobilization, implementing tax reforms, curbing corruption and optimising budget implementation are crucial for economic viability. Streamlining bureaucracy and reducing cost of governance will be imperative.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolicy options to boost non-oil revenues are key to our revenue mobilization strategy. The use of technology to drive reforms implementation is crucial.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the adoption of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, government revenue from oil has continued to decline. We shall work in a coordinated manner to implement reforms that will remove the bottlenecks to the PIA implementation and attract increased inflows of investment into the sector, address issues of oil theft and vandalization of oil infrastructure, and promote an increase in oil production to tap into the current high oil prices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fielding questions after his presentation on what to expect from him within his first 100 days in office, the APC flag bearer said he would hit the ground running by selecting a team of technocrats to help him run the country as he did when he was governor, stating that building a good team is important.<\/p>\n

The APC candidate was accompanied to the NESG session by Governors Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos) and Dave Umahi (Ebonyi) as well as former governors Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) and Babatunde Raji Fashola (Lagos) who is also Minister of Works, among others.<\/p>\n

Tinubu was the first among the top candidates to appear at the presidential dialogue on the Nigerian economy put together by the NESG.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the summit group, Mr. Niyi Yusuf, said the dialogue was meant to give effect to common and shared ideas on the economy between the group and critical stakeholders.<\/p>\n

He said NESG was set up to promote and champion the reform of the Nigerian economy into an open globally competitive economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
