The presidential candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, has said Nigeria’s challenges can be addressed through deliberate policies, investments in human capital and inclusive governance, insisting that effective governance is “not rocket science.”

Obi made the remarks during an interview on the Nevon HQ podcast hosted by broadcaster Rufai Oseni, where he outlined how he would tackle poverty, unemployment and economic stagnation if given the opportunity to lead the country.

According to him, national transformation must begin with fostering unity and a sense of belonging among citizens.
