In July 2008 - more than two years ago - Ayo Akinfe, writing for the NigeriaVillagesquare, placed the following expectations on the incoming Olusegun Mimiko administration.
Dr Mimiko also has to come up with tough targets for his commissioners. For instance, the education commissioner has to cut class sizes to 35 within a year or lose his job, the works commissioner must tar 500km of road a year or lose his job, the health commissioner must cut infant deaths by 10% a year or lose his job, the water resources commissioner must give 5,000 people potable water a year or get kicked out.
Dr Mimiko must also come up with revenue generating programmes designed to make Ondo State self-sufficient without any federal allocation. He should have projections that look like this: cocoa - $10bn; bitumen - $10bn; tourism - $10bn, palm oil - $5bn, timber - $5bn; transport - $5bn; kolanuts - $5bn; cassava - $5bn.
Would you say the government has achieved any of these ?
