Chief Richard Harrison, the former Commissioner for Finance in Abia State, has underscored the necessity for the government to refine economic policies and create a nurturing environment for small businesses.
He asserts that such measures will set Nigeria on a path to a prosperous fiscal year in 2025, propelled by strategic economic reforms and innovative policies.
In a New Year message shared with our correspondent via WhatsApp, Harrison champions a shift towards modern agriculture to achieve food sufficiency, urging the government to support genuine farmers with essential incentives, tools, and grants.
He also encourages Nigerians, particularly unemployed youth, to engage in extensive agricultural practices.
Harrison calls on the government to strengthen entrepreneurship skills acquisition programs and provide startup packages for rural communities.
He insists that Nigeria can chart a course for sustainable growth by having State Governors enhance their state’s Internally Generated Revenue and reduce dependence on federal allocations.
“Moreover, transforming agriculture into an attractive and lucrative career path for graduates could redirect focus from elusive white-collar jobs to a flourishing agricultural sector. With these initiatives, Nigeria is poised for a year of economic revitalization and prosperity in 2025,” Harrison stated in his New Year message.
