Nigeria has outlined various strategic approaches toward the achievement of Agenda 2063 of the African Union (AU).

Some of the proposed measures include the establishment of centres of excellence at the subregional levels to build capacity in technology; the need for innovative financial models; and the creation of appropriate incentives for public, private partnership (PPP) arrangement for the development of infrastructures under the flagship.

The country's propositions were advanced by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and leader of the Nigerian delegation, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu on Thursday to the ongoing 12th Annual Conference of Speakers of National and Regional Parliaments at the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) in Midrand, South Africa, Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker, Levinus Nwabughiogu said in a statement.

Agenda 2063 is a 50 year Africa’s blueprint and master plan for transforming the continent into the global powerhouse of the future.

Signed in 2013, the agenda is the continent’s strategic framework that aims to deliver on its goal for inclusive and sustainable development.

It encapsulates not only Africa’s aspirations for the future but also identifies key flagship programmes which can boost Africa’s economic growth and development and lead to the rapid transformation of the continent.

Speaking at the session, Kalu who reacted to a paper presented on the subject-matter urged the Parliament to strive to make agenda 2063 a house hold name in Africa, the statement quoted him further as saying.

The Deputy Speaker also underscored the need to fund the project to achieve the desired results adequately.

"I want to commend you for that beautiful presentation. The idea is wonderful, we are pursuing it but we are struggling. We are struggling because of the gaps you have mentioned.

"The issue of financing. You also agreed that financing is an issue with regards to this agenda. So, the question becomes, how do we make it a household project. A household agenda without fund? It will be difficult, and you’ve highlighted that the we cannot depend on external bodies to be able to push this project, we need to own it, finance it.

"Will it be a good idea for Africa to look at PPP, Private Public Partnership in raising funds for the fulfillment of the objectives of this agenda. As legislators in our various parliaments, legislating that those who participate especially in infrastructure development that’s in line with this agenda 2063, to incentivize maybe through a tax break for some of them.

"Another one is that it appears to me that there’s a strong overlap between agenda 2063 and SDGs. I heard you talk about health facilities and rest of them, which is also one of the agenda of SDGs. Are they not overlapping so much if they are and SDGs is taking care of some of these responsibilities, do we not to prioritize the ones that are outside the list of SDGs to be able to drive efficiency in a better form. With regards to implementation and oversight, how it is being done in various countries especially in my country where I come from, Nigeria is that SDGs implementation is being executed by the ministry in charge of that and also, the parliament oversights it.

"For us to drive 2063, there’s every reason for people to have the right capacity to drive it. We cannot go to Europe and borrow from people that will help us implement our agenda. To achieve that, what are we doing about the knowledge that’s lacking, the capacity that’s lacking?

"Will it be a wrong proposal for us to say, let’s us establish centers known as centres of excellence across the various regions in Africa where we can build capacities in technology and knowledge so that we’ll be able to own this project", Kalu proposed.

Patience is all we need.
Rome was not built in a day.

Nigerians and wanting immediate results is 5 & 6
Just like Tinubu has a structure to change Nigeria for better.

This man na champ o!

After he fought for South East Development commission!

Igbo Kwenu!

But by 2063 how many go still dey alive then?

How many if alive go fit login and type here as we do now?

Another white elephant project. Always quick to invest in uncertain projects with unrealistic timeframes.

If you ask, what's the way forward? "LETS FORM A COMMITTEE" will be their answer.


"Agenda 2063 is a 50 year Africa’s blueprint and master plan for transforming the continent into the global powerhouse of the future"

RUBBISH! Africa can never be a global powerhouse considering our current romance with western imperialist

AU has a 40 year agenda ?

This Benjamin Kalu always looks like an occultist

Then we thought VISION 2020 was far! We walked through it by grace.

Shey we no go survive 2024 first abi?

This agenda matter just dey make me laugh and E dey remind me of so many years ago. Before year 2020, you needed to see how these people use "year 2020" agenda take dey sing. When 2020 came, not even 1% of those agenda was implemented for us.
Now dem don dey talk about agenda for year 2040 . Africa, who did this to us??
What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news

Oga if you no meet your wife as a virgin, oga go for DNA test oooooo because boreholes aka non-virgins can't be trusted atall atall

No feasible economic policies to alleviate the hardship back home. The Oransanya report on the harmonisation of ministries to cut down the cost of governance have long been jettison. Now it is AU policies of the future you want to implement. Senseless people in government.

"Agenda 2063 is a 50 year Africa’s blueprint and master plan for transforming the continent into the global powerhouse of the future"....Big grammar.

We can't be in this evil contraption till then, we all need to go our own individual ways.
Let those who want Boko Haram Republic get it.

Let those who want to mine skulls increase their IGR with human skulls.

Let the rest of us live in peace

Vision 2020 pro max

Never take advice from someone who supports failure and incompetence

Lol

Ordinary 4 years campaign they can't implement they are talking of 40 years down the line

You think there will be positive results from policies that remove fuel and electric subsidies and float the Niara in three months, thereby crashing the economy and collapsing the GDP and economy.

Tinubu's policies have bankrupted Nigeria, and it is beyond Tinubu's ability to fix the problem with fuel queues across the country.

With this current class of corrupt politicians in nigeria even if you give us 100 years still we can't develop unless we changed them, how can a country ruled by cruel and hard heartened grannies with low iq like Tinubu and buhari can develop? Even a fully developed nation can be destroyed and reduced to a developing country status in less than a decade by this two devils in succession, see how APC totally destroyed nigeria vision 2020 agenda which seems very likely in 2011, buhari started the destruction of nigeria and Tinubu come to complete it and the masses are busy on each other throat based on ethnic and religious division created by politicians to their own advantage.

Thunder kill your generation. You didn't have patience during GEJ,na now u want to have it. May your days be few on earth for being a sycophant

All these agendas look good on paper but bring no real significant positive change to the people.

Our daily squabble with the economy is heading where....?
As long as the Rome story is what you hold on to, then, hope the dollar is fair at the end when all push comes to shove
look, look and look even further......
your kids then would hate the fact that they never became dual citizens at worst...and if a war changes things, they may not survive to continue your race.

What happened to vision 2020 wey Obasanjo project during his tenure

Bunch of unserious evil government.
We are meant to start from foundation right now & get things being done with due process

What is with Nigeria and Africa? I ask because I no longer accept that Africa should or could be Nigeria's orbit of influence in its role as Nigeria's strategic international policy. Firstly, Africa is resistant, revin by the innate jealousy in Africans and secondly Africa is undeserving by the selfsame. Nigeria needs to exert every ounce of energy, capability and finances it has on Nigeria. Unfortunately I doubt Nigeria will , and this applies to my original thoughts, which is not only informed by the reality of Africa as I understand it but my suspicion that a great deal of those at the helm of Nigeria's political power may not be Nigerians or fully Nigerian by origin.
