A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), under the umbrella of Great Transformation Support Initiative (GTSI), based in the United Kingdom, has called on well meaning Nigerians to support the policies and programmes of the Federal Government designed to promote economic growth and development, in order to enhance sustainability in the system.
The deputy coordinator of the group, Bright Sodje, made this known in a chat with Sunday Vanguard, stressing that Nigeria’s economy has recorded tremendous improvement in the last three years, especially in agrculture and petroleum industry.
He said, “We need stability as well as sustainable growth for our economy to develop like advanced countries. As a group, one of our main objectives is the constant appraisal and dvice on present and future transformation initiatives currently embarked upon by the present administration. President Goodluck Jonathan, needs support from all Nigerians to move the economy forward. Despite some challenges that Nigeria is facing, Jonathan is regarded by members of the international community as a leader with the heart of transformation. Some of these attributes can be seen in the rapid transformation of major sectors of the economy notwithstanding the security challenge confronting the nation.”
He added, “His endorsement by the Board of Trustees of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), for 2015 election is a welcome development for the sake of continuity in transformation of Nigeria’s economy. Currently, the government is investing massively in agriculture and this must be sustained to pave for way for job creation for the citizens, especially the youths. Other areas inlcude the National Mortgage Refinance Scheme, which the government launched recently with N50billion as take off grant, National Industrial Revolution Plan and the National Identity Card Project, among others.
