Despite His Flaws, Tinubu Got This Right by voiceofpaul(m): 12:04pm On Feb 29
President Tinubu despite his drug and corruption cases seemed him and his team have the mind maps of everything that is anti-development in Nigeria. It is unfortunate to know that most of the functioning manufacturing companies in Nigeria, especially in Lagos are controlled by #Indians and #Chinese.

If a Nigerian employee has knowledge gaps, it is the responsibility of the employer in conjunction with the employee to close out the gap - substitution with a foreigner is not the right thing to do.

In developed countries, the citizens come first but Nigeria is a different story. The USD 15k levy on foreigners taking up employment meant for Nigeria is a move in the right direction by Tinubu's administration.

These are things that must be addressed if the president is sincere. Why should expartroates be paid in forex here in Nigeria? if you want to come and work here be ready to earn in Naira

You can imagine that. The most troubling part of this is that Indians and the Chinese have sucked up our jobs while millions of Nigerians can't get jobs. I also applaud this move.

He did. But happens to the generated revenues will be another issue.

It could just be a way of settling and empowering another crony who missed out on lucrative government appointments; a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

That is the saddest part of the case. It is obvious that the government is trying to raise money to run its services, but accountability is critical, just as you have mentioned.

There is no accountability whatsoever in the Nigerian system, and it's not just peculiar to the federal government, it filters down to even town's unions and religious organisations.

Nigeria is a richly blessed country and should never be in a dire strait if half its generated riches are accounted for. It's a country against itself because the majority of people are thinking backwards.

I agree and that is why it is harder for someone like Tinubu to lead the charge against corruption because he seems to be the godfather of corruption in the current political landscape of Nigeria.

The whole thing is surreal, my brother. It still feels like a hurriedly drafted nollywood script.

If Peter Obi had won, I believe he would have executed some of Tinubu's manifestos as well. No man is an island of himself.

Good policy, but na good policy we go chop? What happened to other "good" policies at the ports, FIRS, NNPC, CBN and others?

Why isn't Nigeria working? It's because we have corrupt leaders who make policies and go back to doing the same wrong things, no will to implement.

I no longer praise good policies until I see proper implementation

Partly, I agree with you. As much as this is the right direction to start with, monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of those policies are also critical. Nigeria has massive room to grow. There is nothing stopping the federal government from empowering an arm of the National Bureau of Statistics in tracking compliance to all these services and making it readily available to all Nigerians, everytime, everywhere.
