[1] Today, I want us to focus on the Nigerian private sector and discuss its role in getting us out of our current economic nightmare. Too often, we shout government, government, government when sometimes, the issues at stake are not really a public sector matter. It is not the government that is going to come up with innovative ideas that will double our industrial output. A lot of the time, it is some whizzkid in his 20s

[1] On a daily basis, Nigeria witnesses horrific accidents on her roads, many of them involving trailers. Surely, our transport policy has got to be based on moving freight off the road and on to rail to help cut such deaths
[2] No country anywhere on earth has ever industrialised without a modern and efficient railway service. Nigeria’s lack of a modern railway network is a mirror reflection of how unserious we are when it comes to manufacturing

[1] With the Dangote refinery poised to take over as Nigeria’s main source of petrol products, this is the time to cannibalise the NNPC and convert it into an industrial concern
[2] Dangote’s Lekki refinery has effectively made the three dormant NNPC refineries needless. We have to now convert the Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries into manufacturing plants churning out finished goods
