Tinubu's Investments Aim for $1 Trillion Economy in Nigeria

On Thursday, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), announced that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is making significant investments in infrastructure and human capital development as part of a strategy to achieve a one-trillion-dollar economy for Nigeria.

This statement was made during a meeting with the Governing Council of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo, led by pro-chancellor Prof. Muhammad Audu, at the APC national secretariat in Abuja.

Yilwatda emphasized that the federal government's investments in critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, rail transportation, and deep seaports, are aimed at addressing development gaps and fostering productivity, investment, and job creation. He outlined plans for five major deep seaports across Nigeria, including the Badagry Deep Sea Port in Lagos and the Ibom Deep Sea Port in Akwa Ibom, as part of a broader economic strategy to support the targeted one-trillion-dollar economy.
