    Another look at fiscal federalism (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There shouldn’t be any argument that proceeds from the exploration of Nigeria’s continental shelf petroleum and marine mineral resources accruing to the Federation Account, from which they would be divided among the federal, state and local governments of the Nigerian federation. That is the way it should be. A continental shelf, which could be 310 miles wide and 660 feet deep, is coastal land submerged under the sea and is exclusively reserved by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the

    Metaphor of the tenant (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Would you mind this page waxing philosophical today by using the tenant as a metaphor to talk to the Nigerian political elite who seem to always forget that their stay in high political office, as president, governor, minister, commissioner, local government chairman or board member, will be temporary at the end of the day? They need to be reminded that everything is temporary: when a political office holder’s term ends, he must vacate not only the office and the official residence, but also the

    Water, water everywhere… (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Nigerian governments have been failing in an important aspect of governance. Beyond failing to provide piped water to Nigerians’ homes, farms and industries, the government also fails to hold any meaningful conversation on this issue, which has life-and-death implications for Nigerian citizens. Yet, Nigeria has abundant water resources that should be harnessed for the well-being of all Nigerians living in the industrialised urban centres or the rural farming communities where Nigerians live and

    Inputs for Finance Bill 2027 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Now that President Bola Tinubu has openly asked anyone so inclined to make suggestions toward the preparation of the 2027 Finance Bill, every Nigerian citizen with the expertise should take advantage of the unusual invitation. The probable purpose of this novel idea (of what may become a people’s budget) is to have a budget that reflects the aspirations, interests, and will of the citizens of Nigeria. If this is not just a public relations gimmick, but a true effort to reflect the will of the pe

    Atiku’s reverse on subsidy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    You might agree with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s plan to restore petrol subsidy if elected, when you consider the hardship that trails its removal, and the failure of many state and local governments to use their increased revenue from the Federation Account to improve the lives of their people. Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress in the forthcoming 2027 General Elections, introduced the planned reversal of his 2023 presidential campaign promise to remo
