Personally I would cash in on Nnamdi Kanu's popularity and use him to quadrupule industrial output creating some 10m jobs over the next five years

Ayo Akinfe

[1] I would recreate the economic reconstruction agency Projects Development Institute (Proda) founded by Ukpabi Asika in 1971 and ask Nnamdi Kanu to head it

[2] Ipob will change its name to Industrial and Productive Organisation of Brothers

[3] I would them give Nnamdi Kanu the task of creating 5m automobile related jobs at Nnewi

[4] He would also be tasked with creating 3m textile, clothing and fashion related jibs in Aba

[5] Nnamdi would also be tasked with creating 1m pharmaceutical jobs in Orlu, attracting all the industry giants to the city

[6] Like Asika's Proda, Nnamdi Kanu's agency would be tasked with the broad function of generating and catalysing industrialisation by carrying out industrial research from the laboratory stage to the pilot plant stage

[7] Funds will be raised to construct at least two technical vocational colleges in every local government area across the southeast

[8] Nnamdi Kanu would be asked to use his contacts with US lobbying firms too attract foreign direct investment into the southeast geo-political zone

[9] Like the Niger Delta Development Commission, (Ipob) will serve as an inter-state development agency building infrastructure, raising skilled manpower and offering scholarships to students

[10] Ipob would be tasked with going round Nigeria and organising Igbo retailers into cooperatives. Every such cooperative must be given a 10-year goal of manufacturing the products it sells.
