Obi expressed confidence that Nigeria has the human and natural resources needed to become a united, secure and prosperous nation, but stressed that achieving this goal requires accountable leadership and greater investment in education, healthcare, productive enterprises, the rule of law and strong institutions.

Emphasising the importance of good governance, fiscal responsibility and mutually beneficial international partnerships, Obi said these measures would help build an economy that serves all Nigerians and restore the country’s standing in the international community.
