The Think-Home Policy Initiative, spearheaded by the Igbo Think-Home Investment and Development Ltd, represents a transformational agenda for repositioning Igbo land as a global investment hub. Envisioned as a borderless strategy devoid of political, religious, or state affiliations, this initiative aspires to transform Igbo land into a thriving African “Dubai-Taiwan,” attracting global investors and fostering unprecedented development.
The Think-Home concept is deeply rooted in Igbo heritage and visionary leadership. It traces its inspiration to the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, who championed the call for Igbo people to focus on rebuilding and investing in their homeland. This message was later institutionalized under the term “Think-Home Philosophy,” popularized during the tenure of Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife as Governor of Anambra State in 1991.
The initiative seeks to address longstanding developmental challenges in Igbo-speaking states across Nigeria by creating an enabling environment for investment and infrastructural development. Recognized by the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Think-Home Policy Initiative serves as a clarion call to Ndigbo in the diaspora and beyond to channel their resources towards the sustainable growth of their homeland.
The Think-Home Policy has key investment opportunities across critical sectors with inherent benefits, including: industrialization:, Education:
Real Estate:, Agriculture:, Tourism and Leisure: as well as .Infrastructural :development.
These sectors are envisioned to create jobs, enhance economic opportunities, and uplift the standard of living of the people across Igboland.
As part of its operational framework, the initiative offers subsidized land allocations to serious investors willing to commence development within six months of agreement. This proactive strategy ensures swift execution of projects while maintaining a balance between local aspirations and global investment standards.
Governors of Igbo-speaking states are urged to prioritize the provision of critical infrastructure, such as roads, airports, seaports, and power, to enable seamless business operations. The initiative also emphasizes security as a vital component of economic sustainability.
The Think-Home Policy Initiative has a vision to establish Igbo land as a model region comparable to developed economies globally. Its mission includes harnessing public and private sector contributions through advocacy, education, and strategic partnerships with local and international stakeholders.
The Think-Home Policy Initiative is more than a developmental agenda. It is a movement that seeks to inspire every Igbo individual to contribute meaningfully to the growth of their homeland. By leveraging their industriousness and entrepreneurial spirit, the Igbo people can overcome historical setbacks and create a sustainable future for generations to come.
As Ndigbo embrace this renewed consciousness, the Think-Home Policy Initiative promises to redefine the narrative of development in the region. By aligning the aspirations of its people with the opportunities of a modern economy, Igbo land stands poised to emerge as a beacon of progress, a tourism nation, and a global investment destination.
Let the vision of our forebears, embodied in the Think-Home Philosophy, ignite a renaissance that uplifts Igbo land to its rightful place on the world stage.
