How To Run A State Without Federal Allocation by Backslider(m): 8:11pm On Apr 08, 2007
The areas where we shall look

1) Housing
2) Food
3) Transport
4) Security
5) Education
6) Health
7) Energy

Housing

The state governor will meet with chief of lands that are free or land belonging to the state will be made into blocks.

YOU HAVE TO FIRST OF ALL IMPOSE A STATE PROPERTY TAX LET IT BE VERY SMALL SAY 200 NAIRA so that we can form the attitude of paying.

The governor shall setup up a transparent Public auction body. That will conduct the sale Land.

The auction would be aired on Channel 7 and LTV 8.

Requirements for Qualifications of bidding

a) Have the ability to build 50 storey buildings
b) Provide mortgage services for citizens of the state
c) Build condominiums
d) Provide parks and social amenities for each building blocks
e) They will be responsible to supply water and power for the blocks
f) 70% of buildings will be purchased by common workers in the state.
g) Provide police station, Jails and Correctional facilities for communities of block.

Incentives for winners of the bid

a) Tax free holiday for 5 to 10 years
b) Land to operate
c) Employers of prospective buyers will provide information.
d) Other things ………


The state government will set up organization that will monitor the correct use of the lands for the soul purpose housing.

The state government will make sure that the leasing or mortgaging that the companies will produce will be given to working individuals of the state.

No other land will or shall be sold to no one in the state.


Food


The state Government shall meet with the Farmers and set up a core body. That will Purchase food Items for distribution.

SG Should calculate what we need for food.

If it cost 50 naira to feed a Lagosian everyday that means that everyday we spend in the neighborhood of 1 billion naira a day.

So we have an idea what we spend on food a day. In a month we spend 30 billion in one year 365 billion Naira = 2 billion dollars.

What you do is to make sure that have a food commodity market where the state pumps money into the


Production of Food
Storage of Food
Distribution of Food
Packaging of Food

The STUDENTS AND TUTORS of State Agric institutes should directly work with Food Production Outfits Like
a) Crop Farms (CROP SCIENCE STUDENTS)
b) Fish farms ( ANIMAL SCIENCE STUDENTS etc)
c) Snail farms “ “ “
d) Poultry “ “ “
e) Cash crops farming ( CROP SCIENCE STUDENT)
This will set their minds in to practical learning and a problem solving attitude of students and you pay them a stipend.

Storage food

You should do all to bring the Students of your food technology on board this and challenge them that the problem is in their hands

You will pay them a stipend and make sure that they solve this problem.

Transportation

You shall set an up Food transportation Authority that will sell Licenses in transparent bidding process. To move $2 billion worth of food is not a child’s play. It could cost you up to 100 million dollars to do this in a hygienic and prompt manner.

Sell the license to 10 million dollars each and give them tax free holiday for 5 years. That no one can demand money from them. The government will guarantee their free hand in moving goods freely, but will only move food and the Food transport Authority will make sure they only move food.

They will be given a hotline where any one can call them they will also have standard weighing.

The trucks to be used will be the same by the licensed lifters i.e. if it is Volvo trucks one uses to move goods in a state it should be Volvo all through.

Every lifter/mover should be given Number identification.


Packaging

Every Food Crop should be given packaged by companies to be authorized by the State Government.

What you do is that you all marketing and Packaging of Food made In a State Should be packaged by companies authorized to do so.

The companies will sit at the Manufacture points and sale points. Initially it may be difficult but your state will have great rewards.




Transport

What the State Government should do is

to hold a transparent bidding or Auction where all the transportation stake holders will compete for in a transparent bidding process.

They license will be renewed every x years

NB: you shall encourage the NURTW to collapse in a P.L.C where its members will be share holders of this company that they shall float and they will bid for one of the licenses.

Incentives

State Tax holiday for the x number of years.
Free import tax on all equipment and vehicles
provision of special road by the state
provision of transport police by the state
provision of transport courts and correctional facility for transport offenders




The requirement of the winners

1) The operators must provide 1000 buses from one source (i.e. if it Toyota let it be Toyota all through)
2) The operator must have works Shops and after sales guarantee from the suppliers of the vehicles
3) The buses should be new
4) The operators must provide ticketing to make the system cashless.
5) All seniors and primary children will be given free transport
6) Shall operate 70% air conditioning transportation.



The truth is that a lot of people will get on this later on and I tell you Lagos state will make more money from this in the future, because there is another group of citizens that don't trust the current Molue that will join the buses later and there will be bonding in the state.

THE LAGOS STATE TRANSPORT AUTHORITY

a) WILL MONITOR AND DECIDE ON REASONABLE PRICE WITH THE OPERATORS FOR CHARGES COMMUTERS ARE TO PAY
b) THEY WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE OPERATORS ARE OPERATING ACCORDING TO LAID DOWN RULES
c) THEY SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SUSPEND THE LICENSE (after due process)
d) THE LICENSES TO BE AUCTION WILL BE FOUR (4) ONE SHALL BE RESERVED FOR THE NURTW SET UP COMPANY.
e) THE BUSES WILL BE NUMBERED BY THE STATE TO MONITOR STATISTIC
f) THE LICENSES SHOULD BE SOLD FOR 70 - 100 MILLION DOLLARS WITH FIRST 5 YEARS TAX EXEMPTION.

ONCE THE LICENSES ARE IN THE HAND OF THE OPERATORS THERE IS NO WAY THE OPERATORS WILL SIT IDLE AND JUST WASTE THE MONEY THEY SPEND. THERE WILL BE COMPETITION THAT WILL BENEFIT THE POOR.

CHINA AND INDIA WILL AND CAN SUPPLY YOU LONG BUSES/ DOUBLE DECKER WITH SPEED THEY HAVE THE MAN POWER TO DO SO JUST MAKE SURE THEY THE OPERATORS MAKE THE SUPPLIERS HAVE WORKSHOPS FOR THE BUSES TO PREVENT DUMPING.

YOU MUST CREATE TRANSPORT COURTS/ OR TRIBUNAL THAT WILL HEAR CASE AGAINST/FOR THE COMMUTER/ OPERATOR

THE OPERATORS WILL PROVIDE THE LONG BUSES THE GOVERNMENT SELLS THE RIGHT TO RUN THE BUSES TO THE FIVE OPERATORS


Security

a) SANITATION POLICE
b) TRAFFIC POLICE
c) LOCAL INTELLIGENCE GATHERING WHICH WILL INCLUDE CAMERA SURVEILANCE IN HIDDEN AND OPEN AREAS OF ALL THE STATE.
d) CRIME PREVENTION SIMPLE PATROL TEAM WITH COMMUNICATION HEADS THEY SHOULD BE ARMED WITH DOGS SINCE YOU CANT CARRY WEAPON.
e) THERE SHOULD BE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY

because you have a steady supply of SSS leavers you can move the ones that will be interested in this "Voluntary" Police Core and Pay them a Stipend.



Education

The SG should provide free Education for all Citizen of the state.

You must meet all education requirement of the State.

Create free On the Job training for working class in the language they understand.
Students of the states should be drafted into after school so that they can put whatever they learn into immediate practice.






Health

Every child should registered and everybody shall pay the following

1) Child health support Should be paid by parents i.e. if you have 3 kids you will pay child support
2) Health Insurance
3) Health funds should be set up


The Doctors produced in the state should group in something like a cooperative and given heavy incentives to set up Hospitals in the state.

In some countries people think by paying heavy Salaries will make the health worker stay.


Energy


You need to License 3 or 4 companies that will provide electricity to the state grid,
Build mini dams
Challenge the University and Colleges to Develop Final Project on Power General and make then Implement it.

A state is not the state governor's property, to "run" as he pleases. Thank you.
Re: How To Run A State Without Federal Allocation by Backslider(m): 8:29pm On Apr 08, 2007
Thank You Mr Seun.

You must make it crawl walk and run it! yes you do so with respect for Human Rights. A Leader leads a people. You have to make them crawl if you have to but they will run when they see you move.

When you started Nairaland I dare say it came in little by little but their are some that cant sleep now if they don't get on this forum in a day.

You run Nairaland.
Re: How To Run A State Without Federal Allocation by Seun(m): 8:45pm On Apr 08, 2007
A state is not the same thing as a forum. The governor doesn't own the state. He's just managing the state government for a limited term. The governor of a state is not the leader of the people, but the leader of the state government. That's a big difference. Just as I run the Nairaland forum, but I don't run the members' lives!
Re: How To Run A State Without Federal Allocation by Backslider(m): 9:00pm On Apr 08, 2007
yes very Good You run Nairaland and that does not make you the leader of The People? But you regulate and Sanitize like you Moved my post on transports to travel and you did to the Gombe post.

It is your Work to do so.

If you were not here Some of us would be unruly. You have made your rules and you must enforce them that does not make you run our lives.

if you must live in a state Which people live you must Live by the Rules. And the rules must run the states. The governor Should be held accountable first for all what i listed above because he has the Mandate of the people.

he was never imposed.

Which is Greater.

You Being the Elected Governor of State or you being The Custodian(king) of the state.

If we elected you here to be the President of Nairaland it will not be for nothing would it?
