"Given
the emergence of new regional dynamics in development policy and
practice, we MUST fine-tune current regional development perspectives
and to develop new ones that are not only more in sync with the present
and future global context but with the governance systems being
currently adopted that are becoming more and more decentralized and
grassroots oriented. We should adopt a strategy with emphasis on a
balanced approach
and justice to development and opportunity for all diversity
irrespective of one’s tribe, social class, religious belief and even
political affiliation; and establish targets for economic growth of the
entire country taking advantage of our Demographic Shifts, which will
fuel the growth of new sectors, markets, and service lines in our
communities.
The diversity that defines
our various communities in our states and the nation at large is our
Strength and, this ability to build strength and unity is
the power that will propel the region and consequently, the Nigerian
industry, into new dimensions of performance and inclusive growth.
Catalyzing Inclusive Growth through ICT-enabled solutions in healthcare,
education, financial services and public services can drive
socio-economic development and inclusion of more than 30 million
citizens each year, faster, cheaper and more effectively than
traditional models; and thus addressing the root cause of terrorism,
banditry and kidnappings. Our economic plan should be built on current
regional opportunities and ethnic diversity linking macroeconomic models
that brings knowledge, innovation and creativity”....
Dr.
Baba J Adamu
"Let us begin by embracing a new way of thinking and action by
cultivating a new philosophy that expresses the best of us, that brings
forth our better selves and not our worst demons. Unending political
recriminations and deliberate economic sabotage must give way to
compassionate leadership, accommodation and the pursuit of better
ideals".
