A robust Nigerian economy in 2020, with the aspirations outlined by the Visioners, should translate into a more conducive business environment for the private sector, and other investors, and an expansion in capacity utilization, even absorptive capacity, creating job opportunities, and greater scope of activities within the economy. Thus, Vision 2020 as a policy direction has implications for business planning and strategy. The transformation, which Nigeria seeks ought to compel the advertiser and other stakeholders to engage in similar planning. Vision 2020 could translate into a complete re-making of how products and services are advertised, changes in budgeting plans and a complete shift in marketing communications strategy.
I like to hear about all these visions - more like fantasies and childish dreams at best. Nevertheless, it is good to have visions and aspirations instead of halucinations induced by drugs that characterized the Military government of yesteryears! Before we talk about visions, it might be worthwhile to get these items in place. These are the foundation to nation building and defines the backbone of great things to follow.
1.) Get a constitution in place that is relevant to our culture.
2.) Go back to 6 geographical regions and smarter Federal government.
3.) Lay a solid foundation for Technology & information super highway.
4.) Invest in massive agricultural economy to replace oil economy.
5.) Invest is tax collection & give Resource control to regions.
6.) Retool education to focus on vocational studies.
7.) Invest in infrastructure - electricity, water, roads, and railways.
There is no vision without all the necesities in place.
