The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has revealed his governance agenda to Nigerians in Diaspora.
Obi while speaking on the theme, ‘Nigeria Diaspora and Capacity Building’ in Michigan, United States, on Monday, explained that if elected president, his administration will drastically reduce the cost of Governance.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Obi-Datti Media office on Tuesday.
He said; “We shall pursue a drastic reduction in cost of Governance and corruption; Improve ease of doing business to attract FDI to jumpstart industrialization and when borrowing is unavoidable, it will be strictly for regenerative purposes and production.”
“Even though I am aware that power has been moved from exclusive list to the concurrent list, we will go beyond it; we will aggressively support the private sector to invest in the power chain through a multifaceted approach particularly the transmission infrastructure. ‘’
“As we all know, two components of the power sector (generation and distribution) have been privatized and liberalised leaving the most critical component (transmission) in the hands of government which is causing inefficiency and darkness.’’
“We will, therefore, vigorously pursue the liberalization of the transmission infrastructure in addition to a robust power mix- embedded power and renewable energy.”
“The journey to rescue Nigeria could not have gained momentum without the proactive role of our youth. I salute them, he added.
