As we step into the new year, Ayo Akinfe proposes an innovative idea – the Nigerian Religious Investment Act 2025. This act aims to tap into the vast financial resources of religious institutions in Nigeria to boost the country’s economic development.

Historical Context: Religious Institutions and Economic Development

The concept of leveraging religious capital for economic growth is not new. On April 8, 1802, the French Protestant Church became state-supported and controlled, allowing the French government to access church funds for infrastructure development.

Similarly, in medieval Europe, the church played a significant role in engineering and construction, with many cathedrals and city centers built using church funds.

The Role of the Church in Nigeria’s Economic Development

Nigeria, with its large Christian population, has the potential to replicate the European model. Akinfe suggests that the government should tap into the deep pockets of the church to address the country’s infrastructural deficit, estimated at $100 billion annually.

With approximately 90 million Christians in Nigeria, even a quarter of them paying tithes could generate a substantial amount of capital.

Akinfe’s Proposal: Man of God PLC

Akinfe proposes the creation of a massive conglomerate, Man of God PLC, which would merge the financial operations of evangelical churches. This conglomerate would engage in various sectors, including manufacturing, automobile assembly, and oil exploration, generating millions of jobs and a turnover higher than Nigeria’s current budget [8].

Key Takeaways

– The Nigerian Religious Investment Act 2025 aims to tap into the financial resources of religious institutions for economic development.

– Nigeria’s large Christian population presents an opportunity to replicate the European model.
