…Nigeria needs fresh ideas from the Diaspora, says 2023 Presidential hopeful
“My vision will be to create 20 million jobs, free, compulsory and quality education, robust economy and security if elected President of Nigeria in 2023 general elections.
Chief Kennedy Fintan Nnaji is a 53-year old Japan-based Nigerian businessman. He hails from Ikeduru local government area of Imo state. He has temporarily decided to jettison his business in Japan to contest the presidency in the forthcoming 2023 general elections in Nigeria.
The presidential hopeful is coming with fresh Diasporan ideas to build better policies for better life in Nigeria. The patriotic Nigerian has identified the country’s major challenges to include insecurity, unemployment, bad governance and disunity, which have threatened the nation’s existence. He has vowed to bring these to end if he becomes Nigeria’s president in 2023.
According to Nnaji, electricity remained key for the rapid development around the world which would be his first focus in ushering in 24 hours electricity across Nigeria.
Chief Nnaji, President of the Nigeria Union in Japan and Patron, Sports Writer’s Association of Nigeria, (SWAN) Lagos Chapter, made the pledge in a video interview with ASHENEWS on his Blueprint for Nigeria’s development.
The presidential hopeful, who recently declared his intention to run for office of the president under a yet-to-be disclosed political platform, promised to strengthen the unity of the nation for sustainable development.
Nigeria, he says, has all it takes to rule the world but because the nation need a bridge-builder as president, who will create massive jobs, network, build schools, hospitals, good roads recreational centres and other infrastructure among others.
“As a detribalised Nigerian, I figured out that our political elites have succeeded in sowing hatred, disunity, untrustworthiness and lack of harmony in-between our ethnic groups and these have prompted my resolve to join the presidential race. Therefore, fostering peace and unity among Nigerians is part of my agenda.”My utmost agenda will be to strengthen Nigeria’s unity with the same values as it was in the beginning, restore confidence in government among Nigerians through transparent governance and equity.
“My manifesto is rich. I will strive to provide 24 hours electricity for all during my first tenure in office. I will create 20 million jobs during my first tenure in office through viable industrialisation policies,” Nnaji said.
He said Nigeria’s enormously abundant energy potentials, including renewable energy were enough to, not only provide 24 hours of electricity but also export the product to neighbouring countries.
His findings on mineral resources also showed that only a branch of his metal recycling business in Japan could create half of his projected 20 million jobs.
He promised to create enabling environment for foreign direct investments (FDI), provide favourable incentives for local and foreign investors to enhance macro and sustainable investment project in Nigeria.
According to him, efforts will be made to further digitalise the nation’s economy, upgrade existing network system for fast and convenient communication while also serving the people with mutual respect.
Nnaji said that his administration would reorganise education system to meet the global standard while also prioritising the welfare of both serving and retired teachers and others.
“I will restore the dignity of teachers to encourage better learning, create same curriculum for every Nigerian both in public and private schools. I will equip our existing institutions of learning and build new ones.
“I will create free and quality education for all starting from elementary to senior secondary schools.
“All funds should be for the development of the state and the welfare of the people.
“Permit me to say that underpayment of workers is the remote cause of bribery and corruption, and eve,” Nnaji enthused.
