2023: In 4 years we will shelter 400,000 Nigerians – SDP’s Prince Adewole
The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), prince Adewole Adebayo has said that his administration will provide 400,000 houses in four years, if elected.
The SDP presidential candidate gave the assurance on Friday, during an interview with Channels Television.
Speaking of his economic plans, prince Adebayo hinted that his focus will be on ensuring that the rights of Nigerians, as listed in the constitution, are protected.
“What we have as a plan is that we want to invest in the items that are listed in the chapter two of the constitution,” he said.
“We’ll provide adequate nutrition for all Nigerians; we’ll provide adequate medical care for all Nigerians.
“We’ll provide adequate education and housing. We have promised in SDP to build 100,000 housing units in every state, every year, for the first four years.
“All of these things will create employment. We had a 30 million job plan, which many said was too ambitious. We went back to do an analysis and we discovered that it is absolutely realistic.”
In his reaction to a report in which the World Bank said it will take the north 40 years to meet up with the south, the SDP presidential stated that his goal is to ensure that all parts of the country meet up with 21st century technological advancement.
“That analysis is not useful to us because even the south that has comparative advantage is awash with poverty, underdevelopment, and insecurity.
“What I want is to let the north catch up with the rest of the world, not just catch up with the south. The idea is not the relativity of poverty — the north is poor, the south is poor. Maybe the north is a little poorer.”
“My aim is not for the north to catch up with the south. My aim is for the north and south to catch up with the 21st century,” he noted.
