Areas of concentration for President Buhari (5)
1:00:41 PMFemi Ajasa

Historically speaking, Nigeria recorded unprecedented economic and infrastructural development relative to her income during the First Republic (1960 and 1966). One of the major reasons for that was that each of the relatively autonomous regions developed at their own pace and competed with one another in various areas of development. Of course, we cannot go back to regionalism simpliciter.

Hon. Tajudeen Obasa : A Patriot Keeping to his Promises
3:11:47 PMAbiodun Alade

A promise is a declaration or assurance that one will do something or that a particular thing will happen. In the build up to any election, focus is centered on the promises of the candidates seeking offices. Politics everywhere in the world operates within this premise. While many politicians dangle promises without intention to fulfil them after assumption of office, few among them make promises which served as covenant with the people for assessment when the need arises. To fulfil these commitments after inauguration, few politicians engage the people to build a road-map for actualization.
