I think selling Transmission is a bad idea. Transmission infrastructure is a national security matter but more importantly, the cost of building and maintaining that infrastructure and the timeline for seeing reasonable returns on investment makes it not well suited for typical investor funds. That type of investment is done by governments who can take a much longer term and broader economic benefit view of the investment and can potentially source relatively cheaper funds for it than most private businesses. It would mean having a government that’s more interested in building long term infrastructure than they are with lining their pockets which is where Nigeria has been consistently unfortunate.

OK, I am launching what I have been working on that almost killed me. It is called https://t.co/VZUfbkIVnY. People can sell businesses there, and others can also find bargains. This is a perfect exit scenario. You don't have to close up a business when you can sell it.

In 1992, Governor Michael Otedola of Lagos signed a controversial PR contract with a communications consultancy firm reported to be worth ₦400 million.

The governor's spokesperson, Sina Ogunbambo, said the objective of the campaign was not to launder the image of the state government as rumoured, but to make people "sympathise with the government so as to promote loyalty and understanding."

According to Citizen's report, the state's House of Assembly denied knowledge of the ₦400 million deal and ordered a legislative investigation.

A lawmaker, Niyi Fabikun, noted that the contract's value represented 10% of the state's revenue allocation.

Another lawmaker, F.O.A. Arebi, said it was insensitive at a time when thousands of school pupils could not sit for the last promotions exam due to the state's financial constraints.

But the governor's spokesperson dismissed the controversy. "We will continue to use reputable external communications consultants," he said.

Around $23m in 1992 USD. Equivalent in Naira terms today to over N30b (by reconverting at today's exchange) and up to N100b in inflation-adjusted (PP) value.

A new set of unicorn hiers will be birthed from today's ruling elite. We will respect their hustle. They will write books that inspire us, and we will debate how much of their success is due to hard work and how much to the foundation of looting and privilege. It won't matter; they will be consequential, but most in those debates will not be.

What began as the Presidency’s attempt to dismiss the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) as a fictitious organisation has snowballed into a far wider controversy over the integrity of Nigeria’s public institutions.

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.

Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.

Sir, is the feeding allowance for our soldiers only ₦3,000 per day?

And is it true that soldiers are forced to buy their own service goggles, night vision devices, boots, and other essential kits?
