In 2000AD, 8 of us got together and said we want to identify 1 million people who can invest N1million each in a company called Invest in Northern Nigeria Ltd. The former Vice President said no, we cannot get 1 million such people, but we could get 200,000 such people.
So we said fine, 200,000 people times N1 million each, that is N200 billion. This money can solve the major infrastructural problems of the North.
Our aim now is to get 1 million such investors in the next 10 years, which means investing just N100,000 a year each over the 10 year period.
With that money, we can build the gas pipeline to the North, solve our transportation problems and also provide power for our industries.
We have prepared a power point presentation on this and it is available with the ACF Secretariat.
