Main question is what are the state governors, senators and house of representatives doing exactly for their State? Were they elected to sit like dumb Barbie while eating like glutton? The State governors, senators and representatives are the ones who should take advantage of these dollars to naira rates by investing more in the combination of mechanized farming and agro industries in the state, thereby leading to more exports for the state. Thus keying into the advantage of the increase in dollar rates. Because that means more money coming into the country through exports. People should simply face their state governors, senators and representatives. They're not elected to be to dumb Barbie or to be eating like gluttons. In fact , more reason why regionalism need to return. A regional system will ensure a regional head of a region can easily oversee every nooks and crannies of the states under him while also sanctioning the state governors et al to do more in their state for the economy growth of the region. We have 6 geopolitical regions. So it should be 6 regional heads for 6 geopolitical regions! As a matter of fact, regionalism was a major highlight of the country. A retun back to Regionalism! 1 Like |
