The reason why systems fail is because they are created without their social function in mind.

12/ On the question of FX policy by the @cenbank as the cause of Nigeria’s economic downturn, I want humbly and respectfully disagree with you Madam @obyezeks . The @cenbank took the best decision by not floating the Naira @sunrisedailynow @nneotaegbe @GimbaUmarCTV @channelstv

9. We cannot cure this asymmetry in demand/supply of FX by floating the Naira @cenbank @BBoason @CTVharriet @channelstv

1. Floating the Naira will not increase efficiency of Nigeria's FX market @CTVtempili @BBoason @channelstv @cenbank

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

@channelstv @EgbeNneota @chamberlainusoh @sunrisedailynow

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

Floating the Naira is also not a solution. It could make things really difficult for our people & institutions

1. Three key economic decisions of this govt (a) subsidy removal, (b) unification of the exchange rate, (c) revenue/tax reform happening at the same time. Well, the Nigerian economy will survive, but with serious scars @channelstv @sunrisedailynow @nassnigeria @NGRPresident

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

1. Floating the currency of a country that is import dependent is difficult to rationalise. This argument has made for years, but the govt failed to take heed. Proper sequencing of reforms that are informed by research is advised @channelstv @sunrisedailynow @officialABAT

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

2. Nigeria also needs a functional asset management and maintenance vehicle to support this process @channelstv @sunrisedailynow @nneotaegbe @Makindeayo @CokerWemimo @officialABAT @nassnigeria

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

1. The FGN should set up a special purpose vehicle with the right sovereign guarantees to enable PPP investments in Nigeria’s infrastructure @channelstv @sunrisedailynow @nneotaegbe @Makindeayo @CokerWemimo @officialABAT @nassnigeria

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

1. Road construction is so important to national development. The government should complement its road construction plans with a funding mechanism for road maintenance to ensure value for money @channelstv @sunrisedailynow @nassnigeria @officialABAT

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

@channelstv @sunrisedailynow @nassnigeria @officialABAT 4. All courses are important. We simply need an adaptive curriculum to harness knowledge intersections that are best suited for our context

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

1. The student loan approach to funding education in Nigeria is commendable. However, this must be matched with improved quality of education and learning environment @channelstv @sunrisedailynow @nassnigeria @officialABAT

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

@channelstv @sunrisedailynow @nassnigeria @officialABAT 3. The interest rate on student loan should be fair and affordable to accommodate Nigerians of all strata

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

@nassnigeria @channelstv @sunrisedailynow @officialABAT 4. Both sides have put their positions on the table as it is expected. Negotiations should continue @NGRPresident

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

1. It is interesting to see ECOWAS suddenly come alive. Negotiation should continue in Niger. ECOWAS has to be on the side of d Niger people in recognition of its obligations to promoting peace and economic development in the sub-region @channelstv @sunrisedailynow @officialABAT

[Dr. Ikpenmosa Uhumuavbi @ikpems]

@nassnigeria @channelstv @sunrisedailynow 3. West Africa needs a reformed ECOWAS to champion its subregional development agenda for the 21st century @officialABAT @nassnigeria
