Economic blueprint will attract foreign investors – Don

Dr Khalid Bello, Department of Agricultural Science in the Adamawa State University, Mubi, said that the launching of the nation’s economic blue print by President Muhammadu Buhari would attract more foreign investors to Nigeria.

Bello made the statement on Wednesday in Yola while reacting to the inauguration of the Economic Growth and Recovery Plan by the Federal Government.

Bello, who is a specialist in rural sociology, said that the recovery plan would provide an economic direction to enhance the nations’ economic growth.

According to him, the launching is timely especially as the country is almost coming out of the recession.

He added that foreign investors would be only interested in economies that outlined their priorities towards the attainment of some appreciable growth, rather than investing in weak economies.

He commended the president for diversifying the economy, adding that the dividends of a diversifying economy would soon be felt by Nigerians.

“The unveiling of the economic blue print is timely, especially as it is coming at the time the nation is almost coming out of the economic recession.

“It is pertinent that foreign investors will be interested in economies that outline their economic priorities towards growth and not dummy economies.

“With this gesture, I am very sure that our economy will come out of the current recession and emerge as one of the strongest in the world,” Bello said.
