Has anyone noticed most of the pylons used for transmitting power on grid especially around the Lagos islands are gradually rusting away and soon we may have “collapsed power structures” that may lead to loss of lives and properties.. planned maintenance safer than reactive one

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

Today, led the leadership of Africa Association of Quantity Surveyors to the President of Mauritius, His Excellency Prithvirajsing Roopun GCSKB to discuss and promote inclusion of Quantity Surveyors in procurement of civil engineering and infrastructure development in Mauritius

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

Currently watching the CNN showing US House taking a vote on election of The Speaker of the House on a Sunday and even on 3rd January 2021... The US Parliamentarians are surely working for their country and putting it 1st before their pleasures.. wish this can be emulated by ours

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

Transformational policies are proactive and not reactive like the Transactional policies. Transformational policies are worthy of development Loans if need be but Transactional policies just like salaries of the Legislators are a waste of resources and shouldn’t be sustained !

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

From Govt’s Infrastructure Transformation will cottage industries (the SMEs) arise and thrive but not by giving me them unrequested loans for salaries ??? Anyone jeopardizing or incompetent in implementing the infrastructure policies must be removed.

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

Undertake these Infrastructure transformation all at the same time in a healthy and competitive manner all over the country so that each state is compared to the other and any needing assistance can be helped to implement these policies in his state. Cottage industries will arise

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

Nigeria Governments at Federal and State levels should embark on developing Social Housing for civil servants and retiring military personnel, Building and/or refurbishing well equipped Hospitals, Building / expanding Road networks, Funding medical and engineering Researches etc

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

If Transformational policies are implemented there will be no reason to call for “restructuring of Nigeria”.
Infrastructure Transformation is the obvious and most effective vehicle for changing Nigeria.

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

Want Nigeria needs and which the youths want are Policies that are well thought out, effective, over-reaching to all and not just to a few people, and are long lasting ! - TRANSFORMATIONAL POLICIES .
These are policies that will structurally transform Nigeria.

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

Lagos State has offered money for SMEs who want loans and those who can’t pay salaries during the pandemic. FGN offering similar palliatives-MSME Survival Fund.These are Transactional policies, very ineffective, unsustainable, arbitrary not long lasting without tangible benefits

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

It is not about dashing out money or increasing salaries which becomes worthless the next day by Govt’s destructive actions that depreciates the Naira and spending power. Nigeria has been going through this cycle in the last few decades and still in the woods.

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

The politicians and civil servants currently ruling our country Nigeria still don’t get the point of the recent protests - it is not about dashing out money to individuals or companies or increasing salaries that becomes worthless the very next day due to bad policies

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

This should be the starting point. There is no need to request the young protesters to come to negotiation table, all they want is an enabling environment that will ensure fair opportunities.

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

Some top civil service officers (including the judiciary) entrenched in dubious and corrupt activities must be retired immediately. The CBN Governor for his ineptitude and indiscipline should be relived.

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

The National Exec Council of Governors and The President with VP, must sit together to re-start by changing some existing political appointments including heads of Forces with credible and forthright hands that are not necessarily politicians but with subject-matter experiences.

[Obafemi Onashile @OOnashile]

The current situation in Nigeria is grave and fluid. It can snowball in a matter of few days into something that can change the face of entire Africa. To best come out of the situation, there must be sincerity on the part of the Government.

Young graduates being slaughtered on the road whilst lying down to demand opportunity of a just livelihood in their motherland 🤦🏽‍♂️
