President Tinubu needs to put together a Nigerian Investment Ambassadors Group makeup of national icons with a mandate to attract investors
Its members should include the likes of:
[1] Tobi Amusan
[2] Hilda Bassey
[3] Chimamanda Adichie
[4] Stanley Nwabali
[5] Victor Osimhen
[6] Asisat Oshoala
[7] Michelle Alozie
[8] Tiwa Savage
[9] Burna Boy
[10] Davido
Their brief should be very simple:
[1] Attract about $50bn a year in foreign direct investment
[2] Woo local investors to create at least 5m jobs a year
[3] Wage a war against unproductive dead capital that is all over Nigeria
[4] Attract Islamic finance
[5] Meet with our evangelical churches and get them to invest their billions in the economy
[6] Try and lift national morale
[7] Entertain security units doing dangerous jobs in a bid to lift their spirits
[8] Visit areas that have been made secure to convince visitors that they are safe
[9] Make tourists appeal to international visitors in a bid to boost the sector
[10] Act as the poster boys and girls for the power industry as it seeks to get its act together
