President Tinubu's statement is ultimately about *prioritization, value for money and accountability*.

His message rests on three simple principles:

1. Government spending should address the most urgent needs of citizens.
2. Public resources should deliver visible and measurable benefits.
3. Infrastructure decisions should be driven by necessity, not prestige.

By criticizing governors for building flyovers where traffic volumes do not justify them, the President is cautioning against expensive projects that offer limited public value relative to their cost.

Applying the same standard/logic to the Federal Government raises a legitimate question: if many strategic highways are in deplorable condition, increasing transport costs, causing accidents and disrupting economic activity, should new mega-projects take precedence over rehabilitating existing roads that millions depend on daily?

Supporters of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway argue that it is a long-term investment intended to stimulate trade, tourism and economic growth. However, the President's own test remains relevant: *do the resources committed translate into tangible and measurable benefits for the people?*

This is not a partisan question but an accountability one. Every government project, whether state or federal, should be judged by the same criteria:

1. Is it responding to the most pressing public need?
2. Is it the best use of limited resources?
3. What benefits will citizens derive and when?
4. What are the costs of neglecting existing infrastructure?

The broader lesson from the President's statement is clear: if governors must justify building flyovers instead of fixing roads, then the Federal Government must equally justify prioritizing flagship projects while critical national roads remain in poor condition.

The standard for public spending should be consistent at every level of government: demonstrable public need, economic value and measurable benefits, not the visibility or prestige of a project.

"You have governed before, you need to help us communicate with these other Governors...they need to do more to instead of building flyover when there is no numeric traffic, let's do more to enhance the quality of life and support security agencies to penetrate areas"

I stumbled on this VIDEO of the House of Reps Committee on the Capital Market interrogating Mrs Dame Atunma Oteh, the then Director-General of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

It refreshed my memory of how Nigeria’s criminal political class conspires to bring down competent and upright office holders who fail or refuse to do their bidding.

In 2012, Mrs Arunma was summoned by the House Committee for refusing to pay a bribe of N5 million to the Committee Chairman, Herman Hembe, to fund a public hearing. The Committee proceeded to recommend her removal, accusing her of mismanaging agency funds.

They further connived with some Board members and senior staff of the SEC to pressure the Presidency to bend to their demand to send Mrs Arunma on compulsory leave and audit her activities as the SEC Director-General, particularly the “Project 50” event held in December 2011.

Expectedly, the probe validated Mrs Arunma’s integrity and commitment to national interest, and brought shame to the House Committee. It took the insistence of Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and the approval of President Jonathan for her to be reinstated.

After her office expired in 2015, Mrs Arunma got immediate international engagements, from people who genuinely valued her worth. Nigeria lost her and her wealth of knowledge and experience.

Currently, she holds three standout international posts, amongst many. One, as an Executive in Residence at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Two, an Academic Scholar at St. Antony’s College, Oxford. Three, the Chairperson of the Royal African Society.

This is a reminder of how corrupt politicians in Nigeria conspire to frustrate and chase away competent and honourable public and civil servants who refuse to bend to their criminal will and interest.✍️

THE SAGE

BREAD

The Man Who Owned The Bakery

The man in him is the epitome of combined modesty, humility, and rare self-effacement, who appears seemingly so indigent that, not unexpectedly, the impression is created that he can barely afford one loaf of bread, until when he arrives at the top of the queue and turns round to announce that everyone on the queue behind him is spared the trouble of paying for bread. As matters instantly and astonishingly revealed themselves, the man actually owned the bakery.

Our challenge is not a lack of examples, but a reluctance to confront reality.

Sooner or later, Nigeria will have to stop playing ostrich.

When reality contradicts the narrative, just deny it — even when it’s from your own agencies.

Governance by selective blindness…even their own numbers are being gaslighted.

[Kunle J. Adeboye @AdeboyeReview]

When people say they’re unsafe and the response is ‘the media is exaggerating,’ you’re not governing — you’re proofreading reality.

No wonder the president is being fed a version that’s carefully edited.🤷‍♂️🫣
