“This is the time to look at how every sector, both public and private, integrates the priorities of Vision 2050 into its daily operations, because the success of its implementation depends on the participation of each one of us,” said Dr Kida.

The vision is expected to build an inclusive, prosperous, just, and self-reliant nation, with a projected economy valued at 1tri US dollars and a per capita income expected to reach 7,000 US dollars by 2050.
