The pursuit of a one trillion-dollar Nigerian economy, set against a backdrop of increasing geopolitical conflict and trade protectionism, represents a critical strategic imperative for overcoming the continent’s endemic developmental challenges. This research asserts that the primary impediment to realising this objective is not the scarcity of resources, but rather a restrictive institutional and legal environment that obstructs significant investments. We suggest that the deliberate deployment of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) is a vital method to get around these problems and create specific regions for revolutionary projects that will considerably increase regional growth. We offer Nigeria a strong and adaptable framework based on the successful Chinese model, which attracted trillions of dollars in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and helped the economy develop from $2.2 trillion to more than $15 trillion in approximately 12 years. This study conclusively demonstrates that a rigorously formulated SPV strategy, integrated inside a “Policy Laboratory” framework, will alleviate investment concerns, accelerate critical infrastructure development, and act as a fundamental accelerator for Nigeria’s economic change.
