The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (PDP), Bola Tinubu, has promised to revive the economy of the country.
Tinubu, who spoke on Sunday during a meeting with Muslim leaders from South West in Ibadan, Oyo State, promised that his administration will revive the manufacturing sector and diversify the economy for the benefit of all Nigerians.
This was contained in a statement issued after the meeting by his media aide, Tunde Rahman.
Tinubu said, “Regarding the economy, we seek to repair the very structure of the economy. We can no longer flourish as an economy based on natural resource extraction.
“We must become a dynamic, diversified economy where those who want to work can find a good job. But let us also be a society sufficiently compassionate to help those who cannot help themselves.
“We must revive manufacturing and industrial growth to create jobs as well as produce the goods and services that improve the daily lives of the average person.
“We seek a minimum of six per cent growth annually through reform of our industrial policy, infrastructural enhancement, power sector innovation, and significant budgetary reform.”
