The thinking in Ogun state today is that there is a need for diversity in leadership. This sentiment is more pronounced in Ogun East and Ogun Central because they believe that they have been at the corridor of power of the state for over three decades.
an engineer, is a philanthropist and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State. The former House of Representatives aspirant spoke toon the state of the nation, what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu can do to revive the economy and other issues.
You are known as a socio-economic activist. What, in your view, is the way out of the current economic impasse in the country? There is an unannounced global recession presently going on, which is the post economic effect of the COVID-19 debacle, coupled with the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars. So, the economic downturns in Nigeria will be for a while. I will suggest that the president restructures his government by reassigning six ministers of states among his current ministers; one minister of state each for all the six regions in the country.
Governments at all levels should embark on massive infrastructure projects, particularly road construction, where priority should be given to local contractors with good supervision to ensure high quality standards and engineering best practices. It is important to stimulate the economy now. Although we heard that monies were given to the states, but no relief is felt by citizens in the states.
Yes, of course it could be, but I doubt it because of so many reasons. The first reason is bad implementation of whatever is put on paper. Other reasons are funding, abuse of state police by state executives to suppress and harass the opposition, without forgetting the possibility of clashes and sabotage with and by the federal police. To the best of my knowledge, what we need to do is to restructure, reform and reinvent the federal police to what policing should be about.
