Ayo Akinfe

[1] Set an income tax revenue target of $50bn by 2030

[2] Forward proposals to the National Assembly introducing a regime whereby no public official will receive more than four times the national minimum wage

[3] Peg the salaries of the president, governors, senators, ministers, commissioners, members of the House of Representatives, state assembly members, etc to grades in the Nigerian civil service

As we enter December and the rush by Ndigbo to travel to the southeast is set to begin, I am surprised that the South East Governors Forum has not come up with a Yuletide transport programme

Ayo Akinfe

[1] It is Xmas again and as from this weekend, our Igbo brethren will be converging on the southeast, coming from all over Nigeria

[2] Transport fares to cities like Enugu, Umuahia, Aba, Awka, Owerri, Onitsha, etc will double. Owning a national bus company that plies southeast Nigeria is a licence to print money at Xmas in Nigeria

I would love it if President Tinubu got 2025 going by hosting a Global Livestock Conference in Abuja aimed at establishing international rules and making Nigeria a major player on the world market

Ayo Akinfe

[1] He should use it as an opportunity to announce to the whole world that Nigeria is open for business and in search of investors in the animal husbandry business
