Of markets and poor convenience facilities
There is an urgent need to improve toilet facilities in most market places. The sellers and the buyers in most of the markets are in serious need of well-built toilets/ conveniences and this is an area in which we can generate revenues to the state and local governments, if this are well developed and established. It should also be replicated to the cities and urban centres across Nigeria. It is high time to begin to work on this plans and it is long overdue.
Michael Adedotun Oke, 08027142077 The discourse by Prof. Jibrin Ibrahim on the above caption is point blank no matter whose ox is gored. Using money as an inducement to buy voters conscience is an abrasion and completely out of sensible reasoning. The statistics given in the piece where projects were either substituted personal ones or completely erased and the monies earlier budgeted were over blown or reduced is an indication of self-centeredness, greed and or lack of patriotism by those who are supposed to be the role model of the society. Typical example of removal of critical projects in the power sector and infrastructure is a repugnant to natural justice, equity and fair play. Money in politics is a disaster that should be erased if war against corruption is to make any sensible impact in the nation’s polity.
Abdulkadir Mamman, 08031815645 It’s due to the desperation to remain in power. Our political elites from north should strike a deal that will benefit the entire region. As the writer stated, it’s a shame that northern leaders are no longer sophisticated enough like they used to be, when it comes to political calculations, this is due to a selfish interest unlike their predecessors who were not materialistic.
Abdullahi Muhammad Janzaki, 08092222345 As the 2019 General elections draw inexorably closer, my advice to you is to borrow a leaf from former President Goodluck Jonathan’s sportsmanship who accepted defeat in the then 2015 General elections, because the absence of sportsmanship is one of the greatest obstacles to Nigeria’s political advancement which has culminated into its socio-economic underdevelopment dated back to 1964.
Bello Shehu Shuni, 08035114465 The present national forest policy, which recommends that, 25% of all lands in the states and local government areas be left under forest cover should be enforced and made compulsory for all the states and local councils to comply and implement as a way of conserving our remaining natural forests and unique ecosystems for the benefits of our future generation. Government at all levels should endeavor to reduce the high rate of poverty existing amongst the citizens because of the seeming interrelationship between poverty and environmental degradation, so that, those engaged in tree felling for fuelwood collection and sales, would be reduced.
