The NNPC now solely relies on Dangote Refinery. Is this how to run a country? After pouring money down the drain, $2.9bn was spent on maintaining our four refineries; nobody is talking about that. Now it’s all about Dangote!

Hours before Segun's wife gave birth to their third child, police officers seized his okada and arrested him when he tried to bail it. 69% of Nigerian prison inmates are awaiting trial, praying for a chance to prove their innocence. Segun was one of them.

If you want to get rich quick then you need to get in quick. Whether it’s tech or crypto or shares in Apple, by the time you want to get in because you’ve seen someone that ‘made it’ at that thing, you are already too late.

Always hang around people who research innovation. Join innovation communities. You will learn about what is coming before the world is even aware of it. Invest some of your time and money in it.

Don’t go mad. With new things, the risk of failure is extremely high. If it ever becomes mainstream, you’ve hammered. Anybody coming after you would either be left with crumbs or would have to innovate a new approach to what has been done.

CAVEAT: I am just thinking aloud and theorising. Please do your own research.

Nigeria is easily the best country to be a politician in. Mass failure in a state exam and the people are blaming the kids and digital tech. In other countries parliament would have summoned the minister of education to come explain, not in my dear Nigeria.

What's the point of comparing Norway with Somalia when the Norwegian government spends more than $40,000/person annually and the Somali government spends $40?

1../ The Betta Edu Saga Reveals Deep Systemic Issues

The controversy about the request by the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation to the Accountant General, as widely reported, is only a reflection of the systemic failure in our public service. I will point out a few issues while we await the outcome of the investigation.

Before I proceed, it is evident that the Ministerial Retreat did not deal with serious governance issues. I am confident that no one in the retreat presented the case study of Minister Adenike Grange, who was advised to approve payouts for the end of the year. A sterling career suffered extensive damage. If Minister Edu knew of this case, she would have shown more caution in using her red pen.

From publicly available and unverified reports, the Honourable Minister received a memo from Mr. Thalis Olonite Apalowo, National Program Manager, Grants for Vulnerable Group, to approve a request for cash distribution to vulnerable groups in Kogi State on 6 November 2023. On the same day, the Minister approved.

First issue: the program manager ought not to have written to the Hon. Minister directly. The bulk payment of allowances to staff must have been a tradition in the Ministry before now. The Hon. Minister, due to inexperience, pressure, or greed, fell for the organised scam prevalent in the Ministry since the disastrous President Buhari years.

The next day, 7 November 2023, the Permanent Secretary, Abel Olumuyiwa Enitan, an experienced civil servant (from public records, he has been Permanent Secretary since 2018), minuted the approval to the DFA to "process further as approved above."

Second issue: the Permanent Secretary is the ONLY person in the Ministry who should seek approval from the Minister. Mr Apalowo should have sent the memo to Permanent Secretary Abnitio. He ought to have sent the memo to the internal audit, for audit and compliance, to budget to verify fund availability and then forward it to the Minister for approval.

The internal audit, if not in cahoot, would have flagged the anomalies like air tickets to Kogi and other issues. Mr Enitan's job is to guide and advise the Hon. Minister. He abdicated responsibility

The Hon. Minister's letter, if true, to the Accountant General seeking disbursement to private accounts is the ultimate proof of the failure of the bureaucracy led by Mr. Enitan. My initial questions would be: are these companies contractors of the Ministry? Did they go through a procurement process? Are the payments to the companies total payments, mobilisation payments, or payments based on bank bonds?

Procurement process documents should have accompanied the letter to the Accountant General indicating the contractual obligations of the Ministry and the approval of the Ministerial Tenders Board. The payments bore the hallmarks of corruption.

Hon. Ministers have no business with payments, procurements, and human resources issues in the Ministry. The Permanent Secretary is the Chief Accounting Officer of the Ministry and seeks the Minister's approval when incurring expenditures.

The PS is the single point of contact between the Minister and the bureaucracy. At the same time, the Minister is the point of contact with superior and external organs of government and the public.

The debacle is a clear indication of a government that has not prioritised respect for rules and the training of its appointees. While not peculiar to this administration, but an atmosphere surrounding this givernment, that appears to reward political appointees for providing conduits for cash-for-patronage seems to be deepening the crisis.

The Head of Service should investigate and, if found guilty, sanction the Permanent Secretary, Mr Enitan, and the National Programs Manager, Mr Apalowo, for clear breaches of civil service procedures.
