Bill Gates: Buhari’s Economic Plan Doesn’t Reflect Needs Of Nigerians by Islie: 7:44pm On Mar 22, 2018

Bill Gates, co-chairman of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, says the execution process of the economic and recovery growth plan (ERGP) does not reflect the needs of Nigerians.

The ERGP is a medium-term document launched by President Muhammadu Buhari administration in 2017 to restore the nation’s economic status after it was hit by its worst recession in 29 years.

Gates, who is now the second richest man in the world, made this statement while speaking at the expanded national economic council presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday.

“Nigeria is one of the most dangerous places in the world to give birth with the fourth worst maternal mortality rate in the world ahead of only Sierra Leone, Central African Republic and Chad. One in three Nigerian children is chronically malnourished.

“The Nigerian government’s economic recovery and growth plan identify investing in our people as one of three strategic objectives. But the execution priorities don’t fully reflect people’s needs, prioritizing physical capital over human capital.

“To anchor the economy over the long term, investments in infrastructure and competitiveness must go hand in hand with investments in people.

“People without roads, ports, and factories can’t flourish. And roads, ports and factories without skilled workers to build and manage them can’t sustain an economy.”

He said the biggest African office of his foundation is in Nigeria adding that the organisation has committed over $1.6 billion with intentions of increasing the commitment.

Gates said adressing the issue of stunted growth will add $30 billion to the GDP annually.

“The most important choice you can make is to maximize your greatest resource, the Nigerian people. Nigeria will thrive when every Nigerian is able to thrive,” he said.

“If you invest in their health, education and opportunities, the human capital we are talking about today then; that will lay the foundation for sustained prosperity.

“If you don’t, however, then it is very important to recognise that there will be a sharp limit on how much the country can grow.”

He said he would partner with the federal government on taxes to generate revenue for health and education.

In 2016, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in collaboration with the Dangote Foundation committed $100 million to fight malnutrition.

He just highlighted the very danger of successive Nigerian governments.

I like this line...
"the execution process does not reflect the need of the people"
They always come up with white paper ideas with little or no knowledge on how to carryout the tasks effectively.

Which economic plan? Terrorist buhari's only plan is to fund boko-Haram and spread sharia across Nigeria in line with boko-Haram's core demand.

Confam!!

Bill Gates is caucasian and a human being, he does not fit into the category of NOBODY and EVERYBODY, the names of two of Baba Bubu's cows hence the plans will make absolutely no sense to him.

If it would take a white man to drum it in Bubu's wax filled ears,so be it.

“The Nigerian government’s economic recovery and growth plan identify investing in our people as one of three strategic objectives. But the execution priorities don’t fully reflect people’s needs, prioritizing physical capital over human capital.
But let's tell ourselves the truth. Physical capital, we no see. Human capital nko? Na hunger dey mama boiz.
Its just a shame that the leader of the economic team, a professor for that matter is a lame duck, worse than Namadi Sambo.

To think that this government has been blowing the trumpet of the ERGP as one of their major achievements!


Gates must be a leading opposition member.

It's glaring that this man needs to step down immediately.

It would be a disaster waiting to explode if he wins 2019 election.

Currently, only the elites in south and his villagers are supporting him. The hunger in the land is ravaging.
