Despite Nigeria's current economic crisis, she has a huge presidential fleet made up of airplanes and four helicopters and selling off the three aircraft would half the number of jets it has.

[1] Kogi is one of the least developed states in Nigeria in terms of infrastructure. It lacks basic roads, rural areas are inaccessible during the rainy season and it struggles to attract private sector employers
[2] Despite being home to the historic confluence of the rivers Niger and Benue, Kogi State is shamelessly more or less wholly dependent on federal allocation handouts for its survival

[1] Cross River is Nigeria’s second largest cocoa producing state with an annual crop of about 80,000 tonnes. It also has the advantage of bordering Cameroon which has an annual crop of 180,000 tonnes.

[1] I hope that President Tinubu has making Nigeria self-reliant when it comes to defence equipment one of his cardinal programmes. There is no way any other nation will be able to manufacture the equipment we want, in the quantities we want, at the time we want it and at the price we can afford

[1] Nigerians are fond of blaming their plethora of socio-economic woes on bad leadership. To that I say fa,fa, fa, foul. Our leadership is a mirror image of society. There are 109 senators in the National Assembly, if you went to Oshodi market and picked 109 Nigerians at random, you would find that their attitude and outlook is no different from that of the senators
