Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said Imagine Nigeria, an initiative of the Federal Government implemented in conjunction with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will exploit great possibilities for the country.

The Imagine Nigeria report explores alternative futures for Nigeria to kickstart a conversation around national transformation.

A high-level panel and supported by a steering committee with members such as Osinbajo; Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed; Chief of Staff to the President of Nigeria, Ibrahim Gambari and Minister of State for Budget and National Planning of Nigeria, Clem Agba, among others discussed about the country and its challenges.

Speaking at the official launch of the report virtually in Abuja on Wednesday, the Vice President said the project provided the license to imagine a Nigeria freed of its past and current challenges.

He said: “The ultimate objective is to answer the question ‘what would it take to transform Nigeria?’ It is a process of reflection and discussion by all Nigerians especially the younger ones on what the future of our country should look like.

“Imagine Nigeria hopes to stimulate interest and attention around issues of innovation, green economy, trust, leadership and framing a more positive national narrative.”

Mohamed Yahya, Resident Representative, UNDP Nigeria, said Nigeria’s reimagination is critical not only for the country but also for the African continent and the world at large.

He said: “Imagine Nigeria is about creating a shift for a new African agenda and development narrative. It calls on Nigeria to facilitate new forms of collaboration for the country and Africa so that the continent can take its well-deserved seat in the global arena while also providing a basis for the country’s transformation.

“A key recommendation from the series of conversations so far is the urgent need for structural transformation, economic diversification, and wealth creation.”

Over 300 Nigerians in the country and the diaspora participated in an independent consultative review of progress and exploration of ideas captured in the report.

Sir, you had 7 years to "Imagine Nigeria" but you didn't. Few months to the end of this administration, you start imagining Nigeria. No be JuJu be that?

Tinubu really rubbish Osibanjo. Everyone including the Igbos would have queued behind Osibanjo and vote massively for him but Tinubu and his greed didn't let that happen

Tinubu will never be president of Nigeria, Insha Allah

It is Obi we will vote for since Osibanjo is not in the race

The future depends on the youths which makes youth development important.

What great leaders do the support great movement he should join labour party

Keep the light burning Prof and let's see what will happen at 2023 presidential election. If it is written then it come to pass. There is a reason you were thrown up.

This is not even a FG programme..... It's UN's. Lol

#ImagineNigeria is a welcome initiative. I love the idea.

Beautiful! I love this. God bless Nigeria

Great development indeed, Nigeria will surely prevail.

It will be a disservice to Nigeria if I don't imagine Nigeria's future of all possibilities with the mindset of unity, faith, peace and progress.

I am already part of the success stories and history of Nigeria just as our acting president, active vice president and senior advocate of the masses, Professor Yemi Osinbajo

This is highly commendable. When Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said he believes a new Nigeria is possible, he meant it

This is a wonderful initiative. Love the idea behind it.
