Good move on paper. Hopefully, it won’t just be another title without impact. If Cardoso and Edun can actually use this platform to push reforms that attract real investments and improve trade terms, Nigeria and Africa as a whole could benefit massively.

Nigeria don collect G-24 chairmanship, nice one. Now make dem no go use the chair do photo ops only. We need real economic progress, not more grammar from Abuja. 😅

Sometimes I ask myself what year or decade do we plan on leaving this status of DEVELOPING NATION. For how many years are we going to remain a developing nation 😭😭

We are in perilous times. One can't help but wonder when these leaders would be patriotic and people centered.

The real people who have a burning desire to effect a change and see Nigeria work are rarely ever given a chance save for the miracle of Abians in person of H.E. Alex Otti and a handful of others.

If only 10% of our population votes, then how are we the people patriotic for us to expect the leaders who emerge from among us to be patriotic?

What are the improvements in basic services and common utilities that have happened in the almost three years of Otti, from an increased number of well paid civil servants?

lexy2014:
Which reforms are they pushing and how will they use the platform to push the reforms?

you’ve asked a fair question and that’s exactly where I think the conversation should stay, accountability without cynicism.

True, Abia isn’t a finished product, but let’s be real progress takes time when you’re rebuilding a system that was broken for decades. You can already see improvements in salary payments, pension clearing, road rehabilitation, and basic transparency unlike the impunity I personally witnessed under the previous administration where Federal Allocation was shared by the previous Governors, their Godfathers and cronies like the state was under the grip of the Mafia. Nothing was ever done, no visible changes or progress of any kind, not one road construction was executed except the only center table flyover at Aba that took 8 years to complete.

My point wasn’t that Otti has “fixed everything,” but that we at least have a model of leadership trying to do things differently something we rarely get in this country.

The real challenge now is whether we, the people, will sustain that standard and demand it everywhere else, instead of giving up too early or acting like nothing can ever work in Nigeria.
