What is your plan for improving transportation in Nigeria?
I want to build a more practical and accessible transportation system, prioritizing efficiency over prestige projects. I will partner with states to develop existing transportation infrastructure and strengthen regional transportation connectivity within West Africa. I will also partner with capable private firms to operate rail, ports, airports, and waterways, and encourage indigenous participation in shipping, logistics, and transport services.
I will bring in private investors to finance development with their own capital, while government provides targeted incentives, including tax concessions where appropriate. This will allow us to build infrastructure, create jobs and grow the economy.

The ADC will:
1. Promote exports as a driver of economic growth and job creation. We will support Nigerian businesses to compete and win in regional and global markets, with a strong focus on value-added exports and intra-African trade.
2. Provide targeted incentives to support exporters. We will introduce support mechanisms to reduce the cost of exporting and encourage Nigerian businesses to expand into regional and international markets. ● Provide export subsidies and incentives for export ● Support standardization, logistics, warehousing, and port efficiency to reduce export bottlenecks and costs ● Offer financing and credit support for small and medium-scale exporters ● Prioritize support for value-added goods rather than raw exports
