Dr. Victor Koh

A) FOUNDATION OF NATION
BUILDING
“Unless the LORD builds the
house, the builders labor in
vain. Unless the LORD
watches over the city, the
guards stand watch in vain.” Psalm 127 : 1
God is the Master Builder.
God’s people should pray for their
nation to be built.
B) PROMISE OF HEALING FOR
THE LAND
“If My people who are called by My
name, will humble themselves
and pray and seek My face and
turn from their wicked ways,
then will I hear from heaven and
will forgive their sin and will heal
their land.”
- 2 Chronicles 7 : 14
C) BEGON WITH A CLEAR VISION AND
A SET OF SHARED VALUES
 By 2040, we want Nigeria to become a Newly
Industrialized Nation, a harmonious, peaceful, multiethnic, multi-religious, prosperous, middle-income,
modern, corruption-free, clean, green, healthy, safe,
social democratic society, based on integrity, justice,
equality and meritocracy.
 A nation led by leaders who are God-fearing, leaders of
integrity, good stewards of our resources, patriotic and
compassionate.
 Employment for all.
 Quality Affordable & Sustainable Public Housing for all.
 Quality Education, Health Care and Infrastructure for all.
 Justice for all.
D) KEY ECONOMIC INDICATORS &
CHALLENGES FACING NIGERIA (2013):
 POPULATION (2011): 167 million (NBS); 5.5 m (3.3%)
added a year=> 2013 Pop =167+5.5+5.7 =178 m
 POPULATION (2040) projected = 335 million
 Number of Registered Voters (2011) = 67.7 million (NIEC).
 GDP(PPP) = Intl $ 449 billion(29); GDP(Nominal) = US $
262 billion* (WB: 37)
 GDP Per Capita (PPP)= Intl$ 2,697; GDP Per Capita
(Nominal)= US$ 1,555.
 Labor Force (2011): 51 mil; Unemployment = 16.7 mli,
23% of 67.7 mil => many desperate people.
 Nigeria 2040 Goal= GDP (N) PER CAPITA = USD 7,000 =>
GDP = GDP Per Capita x Pop. = US$7,000 x 335m =
US$2,345 B* => Must Grow GDP 9 x (from 262 B -> 2,345B
D(1) #1 ECONOMIC PROBLEM
FACING NIGERIA TODAY:
UNEMPLOYMENT
a) Population(2011)= 167 m(NBS); add 6 m a yr, 2040 =335m
b) Registered Voters (2011) = 67.7 m (NIEC) http://inecnigeria.org
c) Labor Force (Formal + Informal) = 51 million (NBS).
d) # Employed in Formal Sector = 5.1 million = 10% (NBS).
e) # Employed in Informal Sector = 45.9 million = 90% (NBS)
f) # Unemployed (2011)= 16.7 million ( 67.7m – 51-m )
g) # of Unemployed Youths (2011) = over 67 million. (NDE)*
h) # of New People entering Job Market yearly = 2 million
i) # New Jobs created yearly = < 0.2 m => 1.8 m unemployed
j) # Unemployed 2040 = (1.8m x 28yr = 50.4m) + 16.7 = >67 m
SOLUTION: Create 70 million New Jobs by 2040
through 10 Special Economic Zones.
