…the move was part of efforts at using Information Technology to deliver the 12-point agenda of government.
There goes governor Mimiko in this report
First, it is quite interesting that the Ondo state governor has **not** quite forgotten his 12 point agenda.
That is actually refreshing. Maybe it is a sign that this governor does take a peek at all of that promise, once every while. That can only be a good thing.
As for the CUG network, 5000 of it for staff of the state government ? Good Idea on the face value but at what cost ?
We don’t know. We might never know.
You also wonder how the selection process – who gets onto the lucky-5000-game - will work.
Will this not ultimately turn the ministries into some lobbying Bazaar for a ticket ?
Also, there are no visible detail on how this exactly benefits the civil service.
There are no specifics on how it improves the delivery of government services.
It all seems another quantum leap, in window dressing… time will tell.
Helmets:
It equally presented 1,000 safety helmets for the operators of commercial motorcycles, popularly known as Okada riders.
Again, the Ondo state government appears not capable of stepping up its thinking from level one, populism.
In principle, good vision. But, what does the distribution of helmets achieve in the long term safety index for the drivers ?
What are the costs of these helmets ?
What about the remaining Okada drivers ? Do they, therefore not become hazards to other drivers without big-daddy-governor’s helmets ?
It may take these things to be seen as better than an Agagu. But it is hard to see how this makes a good, let alone a great governor.
One would expect a greater feel of deep-thinking, from the Ondo state government, should it seriously be thinking of helping or securing Okada drivers.
There is a way your mind rings, when you are being kidded…
