OPINION BY WALE AJAYI: Expectations from Tinubu presidency and the challenges of nation building (I) | TheCable
June 12, 2023 9:11 AMIf anything, the presidential speech and activities of the new president in his first 24 hours in office are refreshing, reassuring, and indeed a renewed hope was birthed. Now, we have a president who understands governance from the standpoint of economic development and development financing. Little wonder the media space in both conventional and new mediums have been buzzing with analysis of real issues of economics rather than the usual politicking.
I’m more than convinced President Tinubu understands this and more. Steering a country in the direction of development is an audacious task, but it’s one to which Nigerians have entrusted their mandate on the credential and manifesto of ‘Renewed Hope’ upon which the president campaigned and won.Now, to whom much is given, no less is expected. Hard decisions will be made but the president must find the uncommon courage to do what is right for the majority of our people at all times.
It’s almost impossible to develop without sorting out electricity as seen in countries that have successfully moved from third-world economies to either developed or emerging economies in the world. They’ve all sorted out electricity, power, and energy. Brazil, India, China, and South Africa on one side, then Mexico, Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, and UAE on the other side.
