He said central to his proposed roadmap are significant reforms in education and healthcare, which are at the core of human capital development.
The former Anambra state governor also said robust human capital is indispensable infrastructure for national progress.
He made this know in a statement issued via his X handle @PeterObi on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
Sharing his fresh vision for Nigeria, Obi said:
“These are foundational areas that we must reform with energy and determination if we are to reap the demographic dividend of our youthful population.
From the outset of my presidency, we will establish a task force dedicated to drastically reducing the menace of out-of-school children. We will place greater emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to support our drive for massive industrialisation, anchored on our agricultural endowments and value addition across value chains organised around industrial parks to be located in development zones across the geopolitical regions of the country.”
He said high unemployment will be confronted decisively if he is elected president in 2027.

We know you can deliver. We know they fear you and how you will dismantle the brazen embezzlements going on in politics. This is why they are all against you. But God and the people will ensure you get there.
