Experts warn Tinubu’s $1 trillion dream at risk
Economic analysts have outlined essential drivers needed to propel the country toward the $1 trillion GDP goal set by President Bola Tinubu’s government. Speaking on Monday at the eighth conference of the Independent Shareholders Association of Nigeria in Lagos, specialists agreed that reaching this ambitious economic benchmark demands stable regulations, stronger oversight of corporations, workforce development, and continuous technological advancement.
The gathering focused on strategies to reach a trillion-dollar economy by 2030 and brought together officials, market regulators, and business executives. Moses Igbrude, who coordinates the association nationally, emphasized that transparent operations and ethical leadership matter greatly for economic expansion. Ajibola Bankole from the National Insurance Commission discussed how insurance penetration below one percent of GDP limits growth potential, pointing to recent legislative reforms designed to boost market confidence.
Cybersecurity specialist Martin Ikpehai cautioned that digital threats could derail trillion-dollar aspirations without proper protective measures. He stressed that building cyber defenses across government systems and business networks should be viewed as growth infrastructure rather than overhead expense, recommending enhanced standards and response capabilities.
