Mr. President Prophesies a Gloom to Boom Economy for Nigeria by 2015 in New York

BY 2015, President Goodluck Jonathan is optimistic that the Nigerian economy will bounce from its present gloom to boom.

And this will not come by sheer luck as the President declared late Wednesday in New York that his administration would vigorously pursue foreign investments to reflate the economy.

Jonathan therefore announced that Nigeria’s foreign policy would henceforth be based on attracting greater foreign direct investments to accelerate domestic growth and create jobs for Nigerians.

“I am confident that by 2015, Nigeria would have witnessed transformation in all sectors to the benefit of not only its citizens, but also those who have an interest in the country,” he said.

The security challenges in the country still featured in his address, but the President declared that his administration was on top of the situation. “We are dealing with the issue decisively. It will soon be a thing of the past.”

At a dinner organised in his honour by the Corporate Council on Africa, Jonathan said the Federal Government was committed to promoting the development of a knowledge-driven economy to enhance the security of life and property, accelerate growth and provide more jobs to check youth restiveness.
