chukwudi44:

Bros Amosun should not make the list we have had even Governors like chime,lamido and Amaechi that are better than him yet they did not make the list.Amosun is not exceptional e is just there.

This is a subjective list. The point is that Enugu folks very much have the right to insist Chime should be on that list because of what he has done for them as judging stakeholders. You who may then not be from Enugu should then not tell them that Chime does not merit a nomination while Akpabio does. It is all about how efficiently public leaders serve their locality and stakeholders. That is what tells us, for example, that Akunyili may be a good governor if in that position or that Chime may be a very efficient Minister.

Naturally, federal appointees may be more prominent and popular but if we make this about them then we might as well not include any governor at all because, unless we ask Akwa Ibom and Ogun citizens who are pertinently qualified stakeholders as an example, there is no way to say one Governor deserves to be nominated more than another especially when those making the call are not even stakeholders of the States in question let alone be objective judges over how a governor has impacted on every aspect of the lives of their citizen.

very flawed. Akpabio is faar rated than Fashola, Did I see Aregbesola? or are you trolling? This list is flawed and was viewed through the ethnic lens.

Jarus: To me, Fashola is the best public officer Nigeria has produced since return to civil rule in 1999

Others that posted (post) decent performance (by our low standard in Nigeria), by my reckoning:

1, Umaru Yar'adua (reversal of VAT, refinery sale, price hike, asset declaration etc)
2, Barth Nnaji (decent effort in power reforms)
3, Sule Lamido (good capital projects efforts, even if a bad politician)
4, [s]Rotimi Ameachi (Decent capital projects efforts in his state)[/s]
5, Godswill Akpaebo ( Even if I don't like his politics, I admit he tried for his state. I've been to his state; best raod network of all the about Nigerian states I have visited)
6,[s] Nasir el-Rufai (Not his biggest fan either, but I salute his efforts in FCT)[/s]
7, Nuhu Ribadu (You can argue he was selective, but you can't argue his victims were innocent. Plus he returned $15m Ibori bribe)
8, Lamido Sanusi (I commend his work in CBN)
9, Charles Soludo (His attention to ethics may be questionable, but you can't fault his achievement in terms of strenghtening our financial system)
10. Attahiru Bafarawa (I served in Sokoto state,and msut confess he did well for hsi people in terms of capital projects. Good roads everywhere)
11, Rauf Aregbesola (You can fault his politics - can be loud-mouthed, intervening in what doesn't concern him - but you can hardly deny his commitment to the uplift of his people. I was in Osun in August and the whole state looked like one big construction yard, road projects everywhere, despite meagre resources)
12, [s]Ifeuko Omoigui (Decent and silent reform in FIRS; enlarged revenue base for Nigeria) [/s]
13, Donald Duke: Decent performance, mature leader


These are the guys I can give pass mark (50%) of all the public officers (elected or appointed) since 1999. There are others I have herad or read about (e.g Kayode Fayemi, Rochas Okorocha, Peter Obi), but I'm not convinced yet.


Strictly my opinion as a watcher of events in the country.

Although you are clearly a biased APC man, please stop mixing the names of achievers with common criminals. It is an insult to those who have achieved.

This is why we cannot have a rancour-free discussion on Nairaland. OP submitted his list of those , in his opinion, who are outstanding public officers. Don't get offended if his choice does not include those you rate personally. Simply mention yours and perhaps say why you chose them.

Asking Aregbesola to be removed from someone elses list means you do not understand that this is about who we individually feel is an outstanding public officer to us. You cannot argue that many in Osun will not say this about their Governor because, to them, he may have supervised transformation which makes him an outstanding public servant. Jarus mentioned Attahiru Bafarawa .

I would not personally choose him but that is because I am not aware of his achievement as I am not adequately informed about his effort. It does not mean Attahiru Bafarawa has no achievement or that he should not be on the personal list of Jarus. A little bit of consideration and tolerance for the choice/opinion of others may actually see us learn about leaders we do not know much about.

You must be having a laugh.

The same person that shielded Ibori, virtually closed down EFCC and caused chaos by not handing over to his VP?

May his cretinous soul not rest but feel perpetual pain in hell for eternity.

A pure person!

Jarus:
5, Godswill Akpaebo ( Even if I don't like his politics, I admit he tried for his state. I've been to his state; best raod network of all the about Nigerian states I have visited)

White elephant Akpu and Edikakong politician.

This is the same cretin that gave Tuface and wife cars for their wedding, hell no.

A visionless man that is just building structures and has no comprehensive strategy. Basically, a productive Alao Akala.

Jarus:
9, Charles Soludo (His attention to ethics may be questionable, but you can't fault his achievement in terms of strenghtening our financial system)

I personally know he is corrupt.

No a fan.

Aregbesola is just a noise maker, was in oshogbo on saturday for a wedding of a colleague, dat man is a big fraud, I weep for d APC clowns dat are raising hands for him. Oshogbo is an emerging town that just esacped being called a village to be fair.

Remove your tribal welders' glasses so you can see. There is no gap anywhere, you have just given a lopesided judgement. Your fashola who uses 2 jeeps worth N200milion each. What is amaechi doing on that list. Have you been to portharcourt in all your life? Does it occur to you that rivers gets as allocation, 1/7 of whatever goes to the FG?

Re: Outstanding Public Officers In Nigeria Since 1999 by Nobody: 10:42pm On Oct 02, 2013
Only one word perfectly describes that list, SENSELESS. The thread could have been titled "Outstanding Public Officers In Nigeria Since 1999, From APC Perspective".

Meanwhile, if I may ask, what was the long term impact of the reversal of VAT, fuel price hike and refinery sale by Yar Adua? How many jobs were created by those measures? How did the asset declaration by Yar Adua help the war against corruption?

It is unbeliveable that some people are deceived by populist and regime stabilising gimmicks that added NOTHING to the nation. Some of the measures, like reversal of refinery sale, reduction in fuel price actually compounded our problems.

The governors on that list made it based on very SHALLOW analysis. Why should governors who have over N400 billion annual budget to PLAY WITH be compared with those with about N100 billion? No wonder most of the governors that made your list are from resource rich states- Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Lagos. A comparison that makes SENSE is one that compares what each governor has been able to do per N1 billion revenue.

Gbawe:

Come on dude. Stop the mischief and dishonesty. You are a mod here and has seen many threads where the massive infrastructural achievements of Amosun has been revealed here so let us stop all this obsession with bare-faced mischief because I mentioned some of his "plans".

Even those who are not fans of the ACN/APC yet know Ogun State admit to the sheer massive scale of the ongoing work in Ogun State and I don't see what purpose it serves to deny what you cannot be ignorant of. Ask Ogun folks under 30 if they remember ever seeing this scale of work in the past.

This is how you always succeed to cause offence i.e using sheer ignorance to belittle what others have achieved because of your personal bias. Amosun, by any standard you want to use, has revolutionised the affairs of Ogun State especially with Infrastructure everyone can see an feel on a scale many still find hard to believe. You are the same person shown the extensive and comprehensive transport effort of Amosun taking in a BRT system and new taxis yet you still come here feigning ignorant deceitfully to be talking of "what is on ground". Na wa for you sha because I don't know any Nairalander, even the openly bigoted ones, as dishonest as you are.
