Focus should also now be heavily channelled to the fundamentals -Security, enhanced electricity infrastructure, diversification of revenue streams, streamlined custom process, production, EX-IM i.e. positive BOT et al.
It’s tough. It was not going to be an easy ride and discerning minds anticipated the challenges that would come with the tough but necessary decisions/policies.
While I believe in the potential for long term gains, a genuine concern has been raised. The apparent lack of empathy demonstrated by the government at all levels. This sentiment is particularly fuelled by the perceived reluctance to slash frivolous spending despite the hardships faced by the people. The government on all tiers have failed at this simple task of empathy and it is time to reassess spending priorities, with a focus on eliminating frivolous expenditure(s).

That said, the faux outrage from the usual quarters raises questions about their sincerity of purpose, in that these same people might not be as vocal if these same policies were implemented by a different candidate- especially the one who came third. In my opinion the uproar from these quarters are totally not altruistic especially when we all agreed during the campaign period that these policies were necessary
To them, it’s not really about the implementation, but who did.
My take is that we sift through the noise and discern between genuine and politically motivated outrage.
Nigeria’s success hinges not only on the government and its policies, but also on our ability as the led to have the capacity to engage in constructive dialogue.
May Nigeria succeed
