The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, ahead of the 2027 polls, Peter Obi, has promised that his presidency will unite Nigeria as a country to achieve robust human capital development.
Writing on his X handle Wednesday to unveil his vision for a “productive and prosperous Nigeria”. Titled “My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria”, Obi, who placed uniting Nigeria as his top priority for robust human capital development, said, “When I decided to contest for the office of president of Nigeria, I pledged to place Nigeria on the path of unity and national transformation. Now, as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, I will, in the coming weeks and months, provide insights into the roadmap that I am confident will help curb abuse in government, halt the decline in the quality of life of Nigerians at all levels, and usher in an era of unity, peace, sustained progress, and prosperity.
Obi described robust human capital as the foundation for national development, stressing that investment in education and healthcare was essential to unlocking Nigeria’s economic potential.
He said his administration would establish a task force to drastically reduce the number of out-of-school children and place greater emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to support industrialisation and economic growth.
