I go with Aregbesola though. We have some idle assets dat we should sell but hw we will make sure money isn't looted is d big task. At least every state has Nitel buildings just there, d federal secretariat in some states are idle too.

The question is: what do u mean by "restructuring"? Do u mean the disintegration of nigeria? Reschuffling of fed/state powers? Opting for regionalism rather that creation of states? Opting for paliamentary govt rather than presidential?? Opting for unicameralism rather than bicameralism??

This is the problem with nigerians. We just join the band wagon to use words which we have no clue about. That how many were crying for deregulation, and now that govt has deregulated fuel is now 145, dollar is now 445, and the same people are crying foul. Pls lets be patient rather than rush into irrational and unhelpful options that really make no sense.

thunder74:

People shout and scream just to be heard even if they don't understand the reason for the noise. When they are shouting change, it was also the bad wagon syndrome without looking at where were and what we want to change to.

If Nigeria is restructured, Buhari appointments will not favor only the North, our security appointment will not be in the hand of only the Northern Muslims, everybody will be carried along. No leader will surround himself in Aso rock or any other national place with people from his religion or tribe.

You can predict what happens to B if you have A result. This in my opinion was what the last National Conference achieved.

Bolustic:
We are too emotional in this country, except the NLNG and NNPC and Nigeria's equity in other performing assets, all other moribund assets like these should should be sold outrightly.

The Presidential fleet,
All refineries,
Ajaokuta Steel Mill,
Airports

Then after this, let's see if they would work optimally. Dangote should opt for the Nigerian refineries instead of eyeing the performing NLNG.

Even though Fayose isn't my favourite governor, I go with him here. Aregbe should auction his own 'idle' state assets.

mercichoco:
I go with fayose, he made more sense about selling national asset.

Topskybadoo:
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and his from Osun State counterpart, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola have disagreed over the need to sell national assets to finance the 2016 budget.

While Aregbesola urged the Federal Government to sell ‘idle’ national assets and spare the functional ones, Fayose opposed the idea, arguing that selling them would amount to auctioning Nigeria.

The duo spoke in Ado Ekiti during an interactive forum which was part of the activities lined up to mark the 20th anniversary of the creation of Ekiti State.


They, however, canvassed regional integration and cooperation as well as the revival of agriculture as some of the steps to revive national economy.

Aregbesola, who delivered a lecture entitled, “The imperative of unity,” said the biting economic problem was such that in the whole of the South-West region, only Lagos State could stand on its own.

He stressed the need to intensify efforts to revive agriculture, end oil pipeline vandalism and promote regional integration for meaningful development.

He said, “We should revive agriculture, especially food production. Agriculture gives us raw materials for industries and aids in no small measure in economic development. If we can improve on our productivity in food production through agriculture, we will eliminate hunger in our land.

“I want to urge Nigerians to end the ongoing vandalism of oil pipelines as the militants’ activities have been reducing the nation’s daily oil productivity level to between 700,000 and one million per barrel.


“The current vandalism of oil pipeline by the Niger Delta militants is robbing the nation of oil production of 700,000 to one million per barrel on a daily basis. This amounts to a huge loss of oil revenue to the country and has further led to the current recession in the country. An urgent concerted effort is therefore needed to stop the vandalism so that the country could get out of the recession.”

Aregbesola added, “It is high time the Yoruba nation and indeed the South-West united in terms of integrating our development strategies in education, commerce, economy, agriculture and tourism among others. There is no reason we should not unite for the best.

“The truth is that no Yoruba state, with the exception of Lagos State, can survive alone without collaborating with sister states. Therefore, we have to come together, pull together our abundant human and material resources.”

The governor described Ekiti people as men of integrity and courage and urged them to continue to support their governor for the development of the country.

“I congratulate all Ekiti people on the 20th anniversary of the creation of your state, my state, our state. You fought the Ekiti Parapo War which is an indication of unity of purpose. There is strength in unity.”

But Fayose, in his remarks, said selling the national assets was like selling Nigeria at a give-away price.

“Selling our national assets simply amounts to auctioning Nigeria. If we sell the assets because the country is in recession, what would be left of Nigeria?

“What would we call our own? Selling of assets is like moving the country backward. If we sell the assets to finance this year’s budget what would we sell next year? The Federal Government should look beyond its party and assemble economists and financial experts that would assist the President in his drive to bring the nation out of the present economic quagmire.”

Urging the Federal Government to uphold the principles of justice and equity, which he said were germane to building democracy, the governor said, “Justice is very important and without it, democracy is already endangered. If people are now beginning to contest against the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies for manipulation of elections, then democracy is endangered. It is political parties that are supposed to contest elections and not people contesting against inadequacies of the electoral umpire.”

How can A tout and intellectual disagree over economic issues! What does Fayose know about the economy? Does he think is about eating Ponmo or sharing rice for Ekiti people.

Aregbesola must have stooped very low to make Fayose assimilate his points.

This is how u fail exam o. You still didnt answer the question. Restructure means what Kindly explain

orunto27:
1, limit Federal Responsibilities to Foreign Affairs, Treaties, Air, Boundaries, Marine and Military Affairs. 2, Make the States fully autonomous and responsible for their internal security, sourcing and expending their Funds and contributing uniform percentage of their Funds to Federal Government. 3,Recognize a grouping of the Nation into four or six Trade Zones such as NW, NE,SW, SE for four equal groupings or NW, NE, NSC, SW, SE and SS for six groupings. This is just simple Constitution Amendment and Adjustment period. It will only involve the NASS and the 36 States Assemblies to sit and do their normal duties. There will be no dislocation to our normal day to day Government Business Activities. In fact, once the amendment is effected, the effective take over date may be the next Presidency, 2019, using the period from now till 2019 as training and tooting period for the amendment to smooth even.
