2014 confab report the rejected stone now becoming the builders choice

I think you're referring to the 2014 Confab Report, also known as the "Rejected Stone" report, which was a comprehensive report on the state of the Nigerian economy and the challenges facing the country.

The report was presented by a committee set up by the then President Goodluck Jonathan in 2013, and it was rejected by the National Assembly in 2014. The report highlighted several issues, including corruption, mismanagement of resources, and lack of transparency in government.

However, in recent years, some of the recommendations in the report have been implemented, and the "Rejected Stone" has become the "Builder's Choice" in many ways. Here are a few examples:

  1. The report recommended the establishment of a Sovereign Wealth Fund to manage the country's excess crude oil revenue. In 2018, the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) was established to manage the fund.
  2. The report also recommended the creation of a National Development Bank to provide financing for infrastructure development. In 2019, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) established the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) to provide financing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and infrastructure development.
  3. The report highlighted the need for a more transparent and accountable system of government. In recent years, there have been efforts to increase transparency and accountability in government, including the establishment of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
  4. The report recommended the diversification of the economy to reduce dependence on oil. In recent years, there have been efforts to diversify the economy, including the development of the agricultural sector, the manufacturing sector, and the services sector.

Overall, while the "Rejected Stone" report was initially rejected, many of its recommendations have been implemented, and it has become the "Builder's Choice" in many ways.
