Joseph Sanusi’s call = redundant ol’ fail.

“Making farming mechanised in Ondo State, you will be surprised that majority of the unemployed youth will go to farm and unemployment will reduce,” Mr. Sanusi said.

There  goes, a one-time head of the biggest bank in the entire contraption, we know as Nigeria, at a party for Governor Mimiko’s electoral victory.  full report here

As they say, the devil is in the detail!

Let’s take it one after the other ( hoping you take the time to read the report).

The Sanusis’ of Ondo state should not be waiting on a celebration-party (in Lagos!) to ‘scream’ at their governor what policy he should be deploying to reduce unemployment. It is too easy.  Nearly disgracefully lazy. Very very cheap!

The Sanusis’  in our midst should have the seriousness of mind, given the level at which society elevates them and  their supposed credentials (here we have a former CBN governor) to not just say the obvious. But to demonstrate the obvious.

The Sanusis’ in our midst should not just stop at broadcasting policy ideas, they should have the depth to apply their minds, and convert the ideas into working and workable proposals – backed up with the right volume and quantity of data – on how the ideas will work.

And most especially, how the government should proceed, based on such proposals, and in what measureable ways, such proposals will create benefit for society.

This is what other former CBN governor’s do.

It is only fair to add, however, that we do not have the entire detail of exactly what Sanusi presented to governor Mimiko.

But on the basis of the report as found here, there can be only one conclusion on governor Sanusis’ call

Which = Fail.  You should be doing more sir!

We have had too much of such redundant repetitions.

On the other hand,  the  irresponsibility of an executive government, – yes! that of governor Mimiko -  still in election-victory-celebration-and-party-mode, months and months  after the fact, is beginning to shine… It is becoming a life-size fading mirage, that this government will be any different from the cheer ‘waste’ that was our lot under the Agagu led PDP thieving-crazy.

Still, one dreams…
