Recently, the country was enmeshed in uproars over the move of some federal agencies and departments back to Lagos by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government with allusions in some quarters perceiving it as a scheme to limit economic growth in Abuja but upturn Lagos.
It was punctured as a plot to marginalize the north and its people by a president from the southern part of the country. The presidency on the other hand refuted the claims of alleged plot to diminish economic importance in the north. He however did not profoundly give stout reasons for the action under the administration of President Tinubu, a hitherto governor of the state. Some of the critics believe the action is to energize the state using presidential might as “my Lagos”.
The lawmakers, policymakers have to cogitate it as a model, afar being a prerogative, to circumvent a discontent in future as witnessed from a quarter over moving some agencies and departments by Tinubu who has indisputable interest in Lagos.
Take the population of the federal civil service of the nation, for instance, all being resident in Abuja with families. Thus, concerted spread of agencies and departments should be deeply considered beyond Lagos alone. Albert Einstein , a German-born theoretical physicist held to be one of the greatest and most influential scientists said, “If you keep doing the same things, you’ll end up getting the same results”.
With a spread, the rapid development witnessed in Lagos and now in Abuja as a result of the FCT status could replicate, spread across other states. Just give Abuja a few years from now, it would become another ‘Lagos’ both as an economic hub and in terms of population explosion at the detriment of other states. This is a way of restructuring.
