There is nothing wrong with a country having a long term plan, but politicians often use slogans such as Vision 2030, Vision 2050 and Vision 2060 to push accountability far beyond the next election.
A leader who cannot fix broken hospitals, rising food prices, unemployment, corruption, failing schools and heavy taxation will suddenly begin describing the beautiful country citizens should expect several decades later.
By the time that distant deadline arrives, the politician is gone, the promises have been renamed, the failures have been forgotten and another government has launched a fresh document carrying another future date.
Nigeria once promised that Vision 20:2020 would place the country among the worldβs twenty largest economies, yet the deadline passed with unemployment, weak public services and economic hardship still shaping daily life.
Kenya launched Vision 2030 in 2008 with promises of industrial growth, higher incomes and better living standards, yet the country is approaching that deadline with many families poorer, businesses closing and public debt rising. #Elections2027
