The Registrar of the Institute of Arts Management and Professional Studies, Nigeria, Professor Eze Nwauba, has advised Nigerians to focus on personal economic transformation, skill development, and entrepreneurship to ensure resilience and adaptability in the face of an unpredictable economic landscape, irrespective of the outcome of the 2027 general election.
In a statement made available to the Nigerian Tribune on Friday, Nwauba emphasised that no matter who emerges as president in the 2027 general elections, Nigerians must take charge of their future by acquiring new skills, developing entrepreneurship, and investing in technical education, agriculture, and small businesses. This, he noted, is key to forging a stronger, more sustainable future for Nigerians.
“Agriculture presents a promising avenue for economic growth and development, with Nigeria’s fertile land and favorable climate making it an ideal location for farming and agribusiness. Technical education can equip citizens with the skills needed to drive innovation and economic growth, while small businesses can create jobs and stimulate economic development. By leveraging these opportunities, Nigerians can build a more resilient economy and reduce their dependence on the government.
“The fear of the unknown has gripped the nation, with many Nigerians wondering what the future holds. The uncertainty surrounding the election’s outcome has created an atmosphere of anxiety, with some citizens expressing concerns about the potential consequences of the president’s reelection. Furthermore, the notion that a new leadership could bring about transformation and growth has sparked hope among many Nigerians.
