The NISS crew dropped a report from a study done by 86 participants in their Executive Intelligence Management Course (EIMC) 16band. They dug into the theme of "Globalisation and Regional Economic Integration: Implications for Sustainable Development in Africa."
Shettima assured everyone that Tinubu's crew is dead set on leaving us with a country that's on the up and up. He pointed out the administration's gutsy decisions that are geared to give Nigeria's economic fortune a positive spin. According to him, that's why they're all about youth empowerment and developing our human capital.
Giving a thumbs up to the EIMC 16 squad, Shettima appreciated how their study's suggestions line up with what Tinubu's team is aiming for. It looks like they're serious about rolling out policies that'll boost sustainable development and get our economy on the right track.
”Especially the advocacy for investing in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and infrastructure development.”
Shettima described the theme of the EIMC 16 research study, as very apt, “especially given the circumstances we have found ourselves in on the African continent.
”We are challenged from all angles – cyber-terrorism, human and drug trafficking, money laundering, transnational extremism and banditry, and the challenges of climate change.”
On economic diversification, the vice-president noted that in the next 20 to 30 years, oil may not be as valuable as it is today.
”Our only luck and happiness is that we are largely a gas nation. But our most important resource is our human capital which we need to harness.
”We have to invest in education. I believe that with the right infrastructure and qualitative leadership, we can transform this nation,” he stated.
Shettima further noted that with the right leadership at all levels of governance, the country’s growing population could be harnessed and positively deployed to transform the economy.
”Let us create jobs, engage the youths; let us invest in their education. All these challenges of terrorism and banditry will be contained but the fundamental question is the quality of leadership.”
