Good evening everyone and a Happy New Month to you all.

I believe that we should all be contributors to the growth of our respective States especially as it is easier to have a deeper affinity to our States/regions/Zones/tribes than our nation Nigeria (unfortunately).

Imagine that you are involved in the governance of your State, what in your area of capacity would you suggest or do different??

Our leaders in governance (governors,
commissioners and Developmental members) may not really be the wisest.
Perhaps we have better ideas on how to do things better.

Let's share these ideas and our States. They are very relevant personalities on this forum, our ideas can be picked and put to work.

Developed and progressive States make a Developed and progressive Nation.

Keep party and sentiments aside. Don't insult anyone including leaders.
Just go straight to the point in this manner:

The State.
The Area of Interest/Capacity
Your Policies, reasons and projected outcome.


Please let's not derail this thread with ethnic and trtibal slurs.
Avoid those who try to stir hatred and/or derail this thread by not quoting them thereby not encouraging their negative agenda.
Peace.

Bring 100 Igbos into Lagos for every single one the children of hate, jealousy, and perdition frustrate out of Lagos.

So, if 100 leaves, 10,000 will replace them until sophisticators get sense.

We are already working on it.

They will cry taya

😂😂😂

Stop this nuisance. I'm Igbo too. Stop making it look like Igbos are stupid. Where do you make such a policy? In your state or in Lagos? Tụfịakwa in eternum!

I want to be fct minister. I will wipe all spare parts shops. All pharmacy stores. All akpu restuarants. And select over 80% of hotels for demolition.

I will be ruthless with selected transport companies G

This is why you have remained poor. The same people your fathers destroyed and stole their properties are now your landlords in your own cities. Tueh!

Maybe on resources:

If you own land, ensure its active use—either lease it out or engage in agricultural activities. Unless under bush fallow, inactive land faces revocation.

For dormant business properties or buildings closed for an extended period, you either rent the facilities out or demolish them if no further use is envisaged. Repurposing the land for something beneficial e.g the issue of long-closed fuel stations wasting valuable space.

For me, I'll start with registration of those in my state, same thing Lagos is trying to do with LASSRA, where parents have to show their LASSRA certificate before their kids are admitted into state owned schools... I'll extend the same thing to state owned universities, all students there must be registered

Next will be automation of a lot of processes. There have been a lot of switch this year, in my place of work, from pen-paper to computer and it has been lovely, makes work easy... Everything now feels like cruise due to ease. So, I'll set up a standard ICT ministry with substations in all the local governments. A lot of processes that used to involve carrying papers up and down will become automated. This will reduce stress, increase productivity, not forgetting that it'll create enormous jobs for the 21st century tech-savvy youths in my state... From the state general hospital to local government offices, to state ministries, 80% of their activities will now be done online

Advantages to the above
- It's naturally boost internet connectivity in the state as internet providers will bid and outbid themselves to have a chunk of the money assigned for that purpose, so they'll be forced to give their best
- It'll force me as a government to work on increased electricity production, keying into the fact that the FG has now allowed electricity generation by states, it can even be a PPP project, as constant electricity is needed for such automation
- Although it'll lead to loss of jobs, but the saved money from salaries can be channeled into other areas, like road construction, e.t.c

Upgrading of ALL the state owned higher institutions, both in structure and standard. I'll personally coerce organisations in my state to take up building projects in the institutions, such buildings can be named after them after construction and furnishing, I don't care... Then, sack, yes, sack lecturers who are just matter, occupying space without any positive significant contribution...ancient of days... Looking at the dichotomy between polytechnics and universities and the seeming bias in the labour market, I'll work with NUC to convert the polytechnics to Universities of technology, colleges of education to universities of education, and shut down the irrelevant departments in them... Maybe move the department and students to the main universities while moving the technology/education departments to these specific ones

[/b]Let me conclude by saying I've never believed it's the place of government to create industries and manage businesses... I rather think government should create an enabling environment for private investors, while having oversight functions... Although in some cases like power generation, government can have a share in it, with a strong clause that hinders poor performance [b]
