A Nigerian writer and columnist has penned a thought-provoking and interesting piece concerning President Muhammadu Buhari for 2017. It’s a must read.
Finally, we are in 2017. It is the year of soothsayer.
This year, President Muhammadu Buhari's political future will be resolved. The satisfaction or disappointment of the guaranteed change will be the regular variable.
However, I think Buhari has an uncommon opportunity to enhance his profile this 2017.
The catch of Sambisa woods by the Operation Lafiya Dole last December is a decent possibility for the president to enhance his appraisals.
Be that as it may, a great deal more should be done to combine on the pick up.
Out of the blue, counterterrorism specialists have guided us to be mindfully hopeful about observing the finish of Boko Haram so soon.
I can't differ in light of my own discoveries about rebellion, an exploration of numerous years.
Gracious, and obviously the way that in spite of the claim by the military and the president that we're seeing the finish of Boko Haram militancy, the failure of the legislature to save the rest of the abducted Chibok young ladies and a couple of rebounds we have seen of Boko Haram in Madagali, Adamawa State, and in some piece of Borno State put an immediate question mark on the claim.
The president's chance with the counter debasement crusade is another uncommon great opportunity to repair his picture.
With his against defilement despot, Ibrahim Magu, who heads the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under open examination for fraternizing with somebody being explored for degenerate practices by the commission is too genuine to be in any way disregarded by Mr. President.
The archives available for use about the lease installment for his upscale house that expenses $20 million a year by his great companion Air Commodore Mohammed Umar, and his freebie junket on plane having a place with the later can't be rejected.
The president will do well to dispose of Magu with the New Year.
There are others in his bureau that he can not keep anymore, on the off chance that he should build his additions with Nigerians. One of such is the Secretary to the Federal Government, Babachir David Lawal.
Lawal has a notoriety for egotism and now he has included an identification of debasement with an agreement his organization got from the Presidential Initiative for the North East (PINE)
A Senate specially appointed board of trustees investigating the issues being confronted by of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the North east had blamed the SGF for a few offenses including neglecting to represent N2.5 billion PINE supports and granting contracts to his companions and comrades, some of whom pivoted and paid kickbacks into his organization's records.
Truly, the PINE reserve is currently another barrier arms and gear acquisition oversaw by ONSA under President Goodluck Jonathan. PINE is another ground where vultures devour.
The following spot where the shot is for Buhari is with his populist plan to pay poor people. That social spending, if appropriately oversaw without embarrassment will manufacture a solid picture for the president before the race year.
Be that as it may, I have a worry. While we have been informed that the N5,000 regularly scheduled payout is presently achieving the hands of the recipients, the straightforwardness around it needs more light. The objective of the administration should likewise be clear to the recipients as social advantages can't be a lifetime for beneficiaries.
In the United States where there are distinctive sorts of social advantages, those in various classes comprehend the impediments and how things pivot starting with one era then onto the next.
For example, once the administration organization taking care of social advantages figures that you have apparent salary, then you're consequently supplanted with another family unit with such need.
In Finland, where comparable act is being completed for the current year as a pilot stage for the jobless specifically, the administration is clear concerning why unqualified cash is being paid out to the unemployed.
The thought by government office is to utilize the two-year time for testing of the plan to dispense with the "disincentive issue" among the unemployed.
The administration of Finland trusts individuals without employment will have something in their grasp to seek after occupation look and could get low-paying employments without fears "of missing out something." Ultimately they will move from low-paying employments to the high ones and get to be impetuses.
Behind that impetus is reality that a jobless individual in Finland may decline a low-wage or fleeting employment for the straightforward dread of having his money related advantages lessened radically under Finland's unpredictable government managed savings framework.
So the Finish government is accomplishing something to invigorate the unemployed individuals to go out and look for occupations.
Presently, if the thought behind Nigeria's social advantage is just political, it will keep running into a major discard with no open door for Buhari to take the favorable position to enhance his profile.
It's easy to refute however revealing a national program without clear scope of the considerable number of states, even in a pilot stage is an antecedent to disappointment.
The contention that a few states don't have social enlist asks the issue for a program that had been gotten ready for usage in the most recent 20 months.
Actually, the payouts ought to have been left for the states to oversaw utilizing national store with directing guidelines or, best case scenario for every state to think of their inhabitant rules.
I could go on, however I genuinely think Buhari has the chance to roll out the improvement happen this year with a powerful economy and speedy conveyance of his arrangement for a really new Nigeria, before 2018 comes and the hot twist of governmental issues starts to blow.
