The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has said that simple geographical restructuring is not the problem with Nigeria.

He said that prudent management of national resources and providing for the people properly were better ideas for Nigeria’s development challenges.
Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, communicated Mr Osinbajo’s view in a statement in Abuja on Monday.

The vice president was fielding questions from a cross-section of Nigerians at a town hall meeting in Minnesota, U.S., on Sunday.

Mr Osinbajo spoke on a wide range of issues covering the economy, anti-corruption, health, agriculture among others.

According to the vice president, the problem with Nigeria is not a matter of restructuring.

He said that Nigerians must not allow themselves to be drawn into the argument that Nigeria’s problems stemmed from some geographical restructuring.
“It is about managing resources properly and providing for the people properly, that is what it is all about.

“I served for eight years as Attorney General in Lagos State and one of the chief issues that we fought for in Lagos State was what you call fiscal federalism.
“We felt that there was a need for the states to be stronger, for states to more or less determine their fortunes.

“For example, we went to court to contest the idea that every state should control, to a certain extent, its own resources; we were in court at that time up to the Supreme Court and the court ruled that oil-producing states should continue to get 13 per cent derivation.

“While we were at the Supreme Court only the oil-producing states and Lagos were interested in resource control, everybody else was not interested in resource control for obvious reasons.

“Now, that is the way the argument has always gone, those who have the resources want to take all of it, while those who do not have want to share from others.”
He said that Nigeria must create the environment that allowed for people to realise themselves economically because that truly was what the challenge was with Nigeria.

Mr Osinbajo said that unless Nigerians were able to deal with the fundamental questions around corruption, their economic circumstance would keep going one step forward, two steps backwards.

“All that we have been able to deal with is grand corruption. When we started the TSA, the whole point was to aggregate all of the funds of government that were in private banks.

“So, we put all of the money in the central bank so that we could at least see the movement of money and by doing so, we were able to save 50 per cent of the corruption that was going on then.”

Relying on OPEC statistics on oil revenues accruable to Nigeria under successive administrations between 1990 and 2014, the vice president said not much was done in infrastructure development in spite of the huge oil revenues earned.
He said that under the Babangida/ Abacha administrations (1990 – 1998) Nigeria realised 199.8 billion dollars.

Under the Obasanjo / Yar’Adua governments (1999 – 2009), the country got 401.1 billion dollars; and during the Jonathan administration (2010 – 2014), Nigeria got 381.9 billion dollars from oil, Osinbajo said.

“The question that we must all ask is that what exactly happened to resources? The question that I asked is that where is the infrastructure?

“One of the critical things that we must bear in mind and see is that this government despite earning 94 billion dollars, up until 2017, we are spending more on infrastructure and capital than any previous government, so we are spending N1.5 trillion on capital, that is the highest we have spent since 1990.”

In the area of agriculture, Mr Osinbajo said that the target was to attain self-sufficiency in the production of rice, tomato, among others.

According to him, the government is doing a lot of work in agriculture as it has increased local production such that Nigeria is no longer spending five million dollars daily on rice import.

“Today, we are doing 11 million metric tonnes of paddy rice and are now importing only 2 per cent of what we used to import,” he said

if Geographical restructuring is not the problem of the South west , then what is their problem , why do they open threads here and ther and accuse Igbos of flooding their region and at the same time open threads where the crucify Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB members who are desperately seeking for Biafra.

Your kinsmen hijacked, destroyed and buried GEJ's government, always playing victim mentality.

Even the regions with sufficient resources ain't calling for regional govt.
It beats me how the region with meagre resources and the least developed set of people are the ones crying for restructuring.

from statistics and information available before they were scandalously removed from Jamb web site . The south East has maintained consistent highest Number of Jam Applicants and Jamb Admission.
From Reports Made Available from WAEC , The south East states of Abia , Anambra has maintained the best WAEC results back to back .

When Jonathan was in office Nigeria had the biggest economy in Africa and the one of the highest economic growth rates in Africa and in the world btween 8%
Today Nigeria is barely recording a growth rate of 1% https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_GDP_growth

The exchange Rate was better managed under the Jonathan regime at between N150 to N180 to $1. now it is N360 from N480 to %1

The inflation Rate was better managed under the Jonathan regime at below 10% but now it is above 10%


secondly yakubu Gowon based on the advice of Awolowo abolished the Regional Government.
Thirdly the South East main resource is still skilled man power, the 5% has produced the highest Number of top management staff in World bank , IMF etc.

The top Banks in the Fugaz are owned and controlled by the 5%ters , The 5%ters chair or own some of the biggest non oil companies whose tax boost the IGR of Lagos like Zenith Bank, UBA, Access, MTN, Smile etc.

Yorubas dont matter to us , what irked me to raise this post is that a poster raised an issue of igbos flooding the South West and as a good student of history , i need to point it out who indeed is causing the flooding of Lagos state , the Issue of restructuring has been an open sore until APC won the election and is trying to throw it into the dustbin of history.

Goodluck Jonathan even organised a national conference to douse the quest for restructuring.

Now the main issue is how do yorubas accuse igbos of flooding the southwest when there are alternatives to deflood the south west which yorubas are opposing and fighting daily like Osibanjo is doing.

igbos because of the fraudulent federal structure operated by Nigeria where Oil company headquarters were relocated to Lagos after the war instead of the leaving them in the Niger delta, states were created to stop Biafrans from seceding and even after securing the committment of some Niger delta states to remain in Nigeria , the useless government of the day had to starve 3 Million igbos to stop them from leaving Nigeria.

50 years after a brainwashed nincompoop is raising the issue about igbos flooding the South West forgetting that igbos lost 3 Million souls based on the advice of south westerner to stop igbos from seceding

How is Jonathan our kinsman? Because we have a brotherly relationship with South South makes them our kinsmen, right?

Anyway I'm proud of them as friends, brothers and neighbors.

That war was a miscalculation by the igbos
There is a thousand years old saying that you don't bring an ant infested wood into your home.
You killed the leaders of an unstable people (hausa/falanis) and reaped the bloody consequence. If Awolowo was in govt he would have faced thesame fate as Akintola. (Killed like a criminal).

If the war had gone on for 1 more year, there probably won't be an igbo race anymore. If there was no Awolowo your name would be Mohammed Dutse by now.

Yoruba's has always struggled alone, everytime OPC faced the army we did it alone, Abacha, IBB, OBJ, no support for other tribes.

You and the northerners flooding SW has been like that since way before the war, which was why Awolowo insisted on regional govt but he was labeled a traitor by Azikiwe and co.

Why are the igbos that matter not clamouring for break up? Why leave it to fringe groups that weild little power? Why still vote one Nigeria senators? Don't you understand that they represent your acceptance to be Nigerians?

The power Buhari weilded when he shut the borders is what GEJ should have used to restructure this shit hole, but they were busy having a field day at the office.

Being tribal sometimes make people look stupid.

Yorubas has been in the forefront of the restructuring struggle, the igbos wanted a separate country.

Restructuring is to change the structure of the existing system in whatever means.

Afenifere, ohaneze, middlebelt and south south wants the country to be restructured geographically.

The VP opinion is that apart from the south south other states will still be dependent on the stronger states hence the clamour for resource control by each state

I don't know which is better I just want the poverty in the country to reduce. Some of my friends we graduated together since 2009 are still struggling to feed although am financially ok but am not happy.

OP, tribalism erodes the brain!!!

With Fulani's our of power restructuring would be easy n everyone rest

Now because of your greed north would rule again in 2023

When Johnathan was thrown into obscurity as the VP, which tribe stood up for him?
When he got in, he really was clueless, building universities in the North and all that crap

No ogoni clean up, no bridge, no roads, fuel scarcity, insecurity, non payment of salaries, 'stealing is not corruption' etc

Your kinsmen had the ears of Johnathan but couldn't advise him to do the barest minimum, I doubt he even has a record in bayelsa.

mrvitalis:

Firstly u are not our problem

Igbos want to get this country off from the grip of the Fulani's ....we almost succeeded with Jonathan. .it would have take 40 years for Fulani's to get back power ...but south west ruined it
With Fulani's our of power restructuring would be easy n everyone rest

Now because of your greed north would rule again in 2023
