Nigeria faces a range of complex problems
An All Progressives Congress ( APC) chieftain and the National Chairman of the Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu Support Group ( AATSG), Otunba Yomi Odunowo, has described the situation in the country very worrisome and long last solutions must be proffered by the PBAT led Government. Otunba Odunowo, who made these remarks yesterday immediately after the jumat service at the central mosque ijebu ode, Nigeria faces a range of complex problems that require multifaceted solutions. Some of the key issues that need to be addressed by the PBAT Government include:
Power problems: Nigeria’s power infrastructure needs to be improved to address the country’s energy needs
Security crisis: Nigeria has been dealing with a security crisis that has claimed thousands of lives in the last four years and slowed economic growth. The new government will have to find a lasting solution that addresses the demands of a large part of the Igbo population for more political inclusion ini the affairs of the Nigerian state and halt the spate of violent attacks that have severely affected commercial activities in a region known for its entrepreneurial prowess
Corruption: Corruption is a major problem in Nigeria that needs to be addressed. One solution is to institutionalize transparency and accountability in governance
Revenue challenge: Nigeria has a revenue challenge, and the government needs to find ways to generate more revenue. One solution is to increase taxation
Graduated federalism: Nigeria needs a system where states have more control over resources within their perimeter on a gradual scale. This is part of the way to incentivize states to think beyond FAAC allocation when they accept that no matter the price of oil, their share of its allocation is shrinking
Illiteracy and poor education quality: Nigeria’s education system needs to be improved to address the problem of illiteracy and poor education quality
Youth participation: Nigeria can solve its many problems by giving its youth more opportunities to participate in the PBAT government, economy, and society
In summary, Nigeria’s problems are multifaceted and require a range of solutions. The PBAT government needs to address issues such as power problems, security crisis, corruption, revenue challenge, graduated federalism, illiteracy and poor education quality, and youth participation to move the country forward.
