“This year, we have launched the Mortgage Refinancing Company, that is another area that will revolutionarise the housing sector, where people will be able to build their own affordable houses instead of paying rent.
“We have also launched the dry season farming scheme and have revolutionised agriculture with our new initiatives that all the players in agriculture including the World Bank are commending the Nigerian programmes and today, we are launching this twin programme – Nigeria Industrial Revolution Plan and the National Enterprise Development Programme."He said all these were borne out of his desire to build legacies that would outlive his administration.
Jonathan said, “With diligent implementation of these revolutionary programmes that we are launching today, we can tell Nigerians that our country is set for development.”
Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Olusegun Aganga, had earlier in his opening remarks, explained that NEDEP was designed to address the neglect that SMEs had suffered in the past.
He said with the administration’s feat in the cement industry which led to the exportation of the commodity, his ministry was ready to replicate same in 15 other sectors.
But if we may ask, how come Cement
in Nigeria is one of the most expensive in Africa? What has happened to
previous programmes such as NEEDS?
