Celebrating flooding ritual with culture of inaction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the state Bureau Chief of The PUNCH in Ogun State in 2009, I was instructed to do a feature on Oyan Dam located 20 kilometres north-west of Abeokuta and directly under the management of the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority. The instruction was clear: do a feature on the moribund 9MW hydroelectric power project at the dam, inaugurated by the Shehu Shagari civilian administration in 1983, and why it had refused to generate power for Nigerians 26 years later. I will spare you the deta

“A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation,” says Adlai E.

Meanwhile, before BAT settles down to his working leave (have you eve
