Editorial - President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will mark his first anniversary in power in the next three weeks, but there are hardly any concrete achievements made, except for the litany of excuses and rhetoric by his handlers. The reason for the chaotic situation is not far-fetched.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will mark his first anniversary in power in the next three weeks, but there are hardly any concrete achievements made, except for the litany of excuses and rhetoric by his handlers. The reason for the chaotic situation is not far-fetched. Policy decisions were never always well-articulated, thought-out, and their risk analyses thoroughly examined before they were implemented.
For each of the policies the vice-president referred to, there is no timeline about when the fruits of the measures would be realised. In many societies, decisions are accompanied by timelines and projections of outcomes. But here, it is not so. For example, it will take a long time before Nigerians will overcome the hardships that they pass through as a result of the two major policies of this government - the removal of fuel subsidy and the devaluation of the Naira.
There are several other activities being carried out by the rule of thumb. The government promised to make available Compressed Natural Gas vehicles to ease transportation, but weeks before its first anniversary in power, it is still promising to make available 2,700 vehicles by May 29. It is clear that even as at the time the president made the promise last year, there was no roadmap to make the CNG vehicles available for Nigerians.
