Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, presidential candidate of the Peoples Trust (PT), says his party’s new Nigerian economic development plan will create $4 trillion GDP in 10 years.

In a statement on Monday, Olawepo-Hashim said his party has a target to net five percent of global infrastructure funds in 10 years by removing obstacles to investments.

He added that if the party is elected in 2019, it will promote an innovative economy by protecting proprietary rights of innovators.

The presidential candidate said PT has a total of 194 contestants on its platform for the 2019 general election, including 140 for the house of representatives, 52 for the senate.

PT is one of the political parties which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) registered ahead of next year’s general election.

“Our agenda is obviously most appealing. Our new Nigerian Economic Development plan will create 4 trillion dollars GDP in 10 years by the Grace of God. We target to net 5% of Global infrastructure funds in 10 years by removing obstacles to investments and rapidly increase the ease of doing business in Nigeria,” Olawepo-Hashim said.

“We will promote an innovative economy by protecting proprietary rights of innovators and the sanctity of agreement. We will integrate Agriculture, Solid Mineral Sector with industries and increase manufacturing share of the GDP to 40% and then tackle unemployment through industry based jobs.”
