Congrats to the good people of Bauchi state.

Dr Mayo Jinga Lucious is the Senior Special Assistant on Social Integration and Value Orientation to Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State. In this interview ahead of the forthcoming rescheduled gubernatorial election, Dr. Lucious speaks on the performance of the Governor Nyako, the Governor’s relationship with major stakeholders in the state and on how the Governor’s engagement of 1,000 Special Assistants has been able to impact positively on the economy of the state. Excerpts:

PapaBrowne:

I think it would make more sense if we could focus more on our states and local Governments. The structure of Nigeria demands that every state and every section of the country gets a space in Abuja. Thats what they call Federal Character. Thats exactly why there are 37 Ministers in Nigeria.

Thats why instead of fighting Fuels subsidy removal, we ought to march to the Legislative arm and demand our own constitution that would discard the one foisted upon us by some soldiers.

Another reason why you might want to focus more on your locality-



Adamawa state Gov. has 1000 special assistants

How President Goodluck Jonathan is wasting resources through unnecessary appointments.

Perhaps the most curious is the Special Adviser (New Media), Reno Omokri. In clear terms, he is special adviser on Twitter and Facebook matters! This is aside the fact that there is a Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity. Strangely, the ‘Twitter and Facebook special adviser’ is not attached to the office of the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity but to the Special Adviser, Research and Strategy.

By the way, these special advisers would ordinarily have their own personal assistants and other aides.
Total waste of funds that could have been channeled into productive and progressive uses.

Please do not complain - I am presently gunning for the position of Special Adviser on ANti-Protest Strategy

PapaBrowne:

Do you really believe that RENO can pay me Reno is doing his thing!
Me, my interest in in a prosperous Nigeria where private enterprise can thrive!!
If you notice, I tend to support anything that welcomes competition- Deregulation, Privatization, Fashola's Lekki Toll, PPPs, and all that kind of stuff!!
And that is where I would keep supporting Oga Jona. That is the exact reason I voted him.
There's more to come with regards to privatization, so more protests are expected from the regular socialists, so I will remain here supporting Oga Jona!

You forget to add Dr Tunji Olagunju Special Adviser on NEPAD ,
Dr Akinyosore Special Adviser on Foreign relation,
what about Hajia Amina,Special adviser on MDG.
 Overbloated Government.

It's a good start, jay bee. Discussions like these prepare the people to stand up to the govt like they did recently. BTW, if SA Omokri is doing his job, these complaints should get to Presido. (PS: I have a feeling GEJ has abandoned his Facebook account for the sake of his sanity - See as Naijas dey yab and curse am for there!)

@Op But for the recent focus on "high cost of governance" GEJ would have appointed a Coordinating Special Adviser for all Special Advisory functions

@Olawalebab

The Senior Special Adviser to the President on MDGs is not Hajia Amina but Mrs. Precious K. Gbeneol. (of course Mrs.  Gbeneol is from[b] the Niger Delta[/b])
