You only came for greener pastures, not to develop Lagos. 95% of you came to Lagos with slippers and nylon bags.

OJO LGA, WE ARE MORE AWARE NOW

[Taiwo_Ajakaye @dmightyangel]

MAIN/SHARED FUNCTIONS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS.....

I simply checked online on what the Constitution of Nigeria calls the Primary functions of LGAs in Nigeria.

Going through the Primary functions of LGAs and Shared responsibilities with the State, it is obvious that if States and LGAs are not ready to lift a finger, there's little development we can see as a people.....If States & LGAs don't do them despite getting funds, who will? Unfortunately, the functions are so important to our day to day activities at the grassroots.

So I'll paste them here, no need to analyze them:

(a) Construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lighting, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such other public facilities as may be prescribed by the State House of Assembly.

(b) Collection of rates, radio and television licences.😇😇

(c) Establishment and maintenance of cemeteries, burial grounds, and homes for the destitute or infirm.

(d) Establishment, maintenance, and regulation of slaughter houses, slaughter slabs, markets, motor parks, and public conveniences.

(e) Licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically propelled trucks), canoes, wheelbarrows, and carts.

(f) Consideration and making of recommendations to a State commission on economic planning (or similar body) on: The economic development of the State, especially as it affects the LGA's area.

(g) Naming of roads and streets and numbering of houses.

(h) Provision and maintenance of public conveniences, sewage, and refuse disposal.

(i) Registration of all births, deaths, and marriages.

(j) Assessment of privately owned houses or tenements for the purpose of levying such rates as may be prescribed by the State House of Assembly.

(k) Control and regulation of: (i) Outdoor advertising and hoarding.
(ii) Movement and keeping of pets of all descriptions.
(iii) Shops and kiosks.
(iv) Restaurants, bakeries, and other places for the sale of food to the public.
(v) Laundries.
(vi) The licensing, regulation, and control of the sale of liquor.

2. Concurrent/Participatory Functions: areas where LGAs participate with the State government:

(a) The provision and maintenance of primary, adult, and vocational education.

(b) The development of agriculture and natural resources (other than the exploitation of minerals).

(c) The provision and maintenance of health services.

(d) Such other functions as may be conferred on a local government council by the House of Assembly of the State.

Interesting days ahead.

TINUBU'S NEW POLICY FOR UNIVERSITIES WILL MAKE THEM TO WAKE UP AND THINK LIKE A BUSINESS.

Tinubu Government Directs Universities to Fund Lecturers’ Allowances Internally — Nigerians Fear Tuition Hikes.

But There’s a Bigger Economic Picture.

The Federal Government has now directed public universities to begin paying the new Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA) for lecturers.

Using internally generated revenue while waiting for full budget implementation.

Many students are already panicking about possible tuition increases.

And honestly, their fears are understandable.

The allowance is massive:

• Graduate Assistants — over ₦1 million yearly.

• Senior lecturers and professors — over ₦3 million yearly.

• Tax-free funding for research, books, software, journals, conferences, and fieldwork.

But here is the main koko...

For decades, Nigerian universities depended almost entirely on Abuja allocations while operating like non-business entities.

You know I am an advocate of government thinking like a business?

Tinubu is doing the right thing.

The world changed.

Today:

• American universities make billions from patents, sports, research grants, technology, alumni donations, and international students.

• Chinese universities are directly linked to manufacturing and industrial growth.

• Singapore transformed universities into innovation centers feeding the economy.

• South Korea tied universities to national technology development.

Nigeria cannot continue funding 21st-century education with a 1970s economic structure.

This policy may look harsh now, but the Tinubu administration appears to be pushing universities toward economic productivity instead of total federal dependence.

Universities sit on thousands of hectares of land, research talent, intellectual property, consultancies, agricultural projects, technology hubs, medical services, and business opportunities — yet many generate very little revenue.

The government’s argument is simple:

“If lecturers are to receive globally competitive research and academic support allowances, institutions themselves must begin creating value.”

That's simple.

Painful?

Yes.

Risky?

Yes.

But economically, this is part of a wider reform agenda shifting Nigeria from a consumption economy to a productivity economy.

The danger, however, is this:

If university management simply transfers the burden to poor students through endless “sundry charges,” then the policy could worsen inequality and reduce access to education.

That is where leadership matters.

Universities must now become innovative:

• commercialize research
• partner industries
• attract private endowments
• monetize innovations
• expand professional programs
• improve agricultural and technology ventures
• reduce corruption and waste

A university should not only produce job seekers.

A university should become an economic engine.

This is how China built industrial power.

This is how America dominates technology.

This is how Asian nations used education to create wealth.

Nigeria is now entering that difficult transition stage where institutions are being forced to survive beyond federal oil money.

The real question is:

Will Nigerian universities reform and innovate

Or simply increase school fees and punish students?

Tosin Eniolorunda and his co-Founder are Nigerian trained. All of the day one guys at Moniepoint are Nigerians and most of them are still with the company and doing very well.

Moniepoint employ, in total, almost 30,000 Nigerians. They are a top employer in NIGERIA 🇳🇬. They pay a minimum of 75% percentile of the market. Junior Developers earn N1M monthly. Most earn N3M and some earn N4M monthly. They have people who earn around N10M monthly!

Moniepoint remains one of the highest transacting companies in AFRICA. They are a world-class company. And if Moniepoint did not exist, Nigeria would have gone to CHINA, completely.

Tosin must have spoken from a place of deep passion and pain because human capital in Nigeria is low. I have tweeted about this several times as well. Yes, we have good talent, but when you look at the larger population of the country, we have so much work to do. This is a FACT!

By the way, Moniepoint has paid some employees a million dollar in stock options (IN CASH). And there are at least 15-20 people who work with Moniepoint in Nigeria who are dollar millionaires!

So, to say they underpay or they take advantage of cheap labour is redundant and lazy talk.

Again, criticisms should be fair and balanced. But Business Leaders should never shy away from shedding light on challenges across the country.

PS: MONIEPOINT HAS PRODUCED A GEN Z A BILLIONAIRE!! JULIAN DUMEBI DURU IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND HAS TOLD HIS STORY. He was a Product Manager, then a Software Architect, before the final promotion to Principal Engineer all at Moniepoint 👏🏽👏🏽.
