President Muhammadu Buhari has launched the Nigeria Agenda 2050, declaring that its implementation would ensure that Nigeria attains a per capita GDP of 33.328 dollars per annum to place her among the top middle-income economies globally by 2050.

Buhari said the plan would also increase real GDP growth by seven per cent, create 165 million new jobs and reduce the number of Nigerians living in poverty to 2.1 million in 2050 from the 83 million estimated in 2020.

The launch comes about seven weeks after Federal Executive Council approved the policy document on March 15 and nearly three months after the National Economic Council endorsed the agenda.
