"...the governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, had approved N25m for the training of 320 senior citizens of the state on rural projects."
The more you think about that line, and the subsequent justifications proffered in the rest of the report here.
the further you are thinking : Bizarre.
Or government Bazaar. At large.
How do you train citizens on rural projects ?
You are either :
One, planning to roll out rural projects
or
two, you are training people, on how to make / fix / produce / or develop rural projects.
Further, how is senior citizen defined ? Does it include the most performing government staff? Would my grandfather qualify?
If the way we used to do things is anything to go by, that is recipe for some "man-know-man" chronic lobbying.
The shallowness of the government commissioner speaking on behalf of the state government in this instance
could no further be exposed than his rationale for seeking another ministry.
Hear him:
"He [the commissioner - Mr. Clement Faboyede ] - therefore called on the Federal Government to urgently create the ministry for community development in order to alleviate the sufferings of the rural dwellers."
The more you evaluate the whole report, the more inclined you are to think, this is a strategic Bazaar from Alagbaka. you hope you are wrong.
Still, you have to wonder how effective this government might be in the long run, if this is the quality of mind that surrounds him. scary stuff.
