A NIGERIA POLICY ROADMAP - PERSPECTIVES AND INSIGHTS

Abstract

The global economy is hard hit by the COVID-19; the general outlook is grim and abysmal. Nonetheless, this moment also presents a once in a lifetime opportunity for diversified pathways to growth and development in manufactures, health, processed and semiprocessed exports, services trade, innovation, research and development, science and tech, electronic commerce, teleworking, telemedicine and much more. In light of this, the Nigerian government recognises the importance of a sophisticated and agile trade framework to successfully guide Nigeria into the middle of the 21st Century. This roadmap provides an ambitious and aggressive plan for fuelling Nigeria's trade growth, and harvesting that growth to put the Nigerian economy on a rapid growth path. The roadmap has its base in Nigeria's specific geopolitical situation, taking into account Nigeria's national security and foreign policy objectives, as well as its particular geopolitical advantages and disadvantages
