Aisha Yesufu, a human rights activist and co-convener of #BringBackOurGirls has revealed what she would have done differently if she was the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Yesufu who spoke via her verified X handle on Thursday said she would stop import duties on goods if she were Nigeria’s president, tackle insecurity, and revamp tourism.
She also said she would have worked extensively on infrastructure and cheap capital to attract industries to set up shops in Nigeria and produce there.
She wrote: “If I was the President of Nigeria, I would propose that we do away with import duties on all goods. Ensure that goods coming into Nigeria are extremely cheap, then focus on making the default place to come for cheap goods by all other African countries and also other continents.
