RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The NigeriaN Downstream Crisis

Dear Jones,

I've enjoyed reading your presentation on The Nigerian Downstream Crisis - Challenges and Prospects in the Global Economy.  It's very insightful, educational, solution based and positively impactful… It's one of your best works, so far; highly commendable and worthy contribution to our nation's socio-economic development and progress.

 

Your work rightly exposed the Nigeria's leadership's Lack-lustre, cavalier attitude, lack of resourcefulness and lazy mentality to indigenous set of policies; and our naivety and palpable lack of courage to challenge the status quo that is pushing Nigeria to the apparent "brink of collapse and unprecedented hardship to the masses." 
 
Thanks a lot for sharing.
 

With love and best wishes, always
Positively

"Despite having the second largest economy, after South Africa and the potential to become the largest economy in Africa, Nigeria lacks long term integrated national planning devoid of disjointed policies with genuinely committed leaders to implement anti corruption policies… Because its main source of finance is completely detached from the performance of the domestic economy, the Nigerian government exhibits a lack of genuine interest to do what needs be done to grow the economy; so depending on the price level of crude oil there is a budgetary deficit or surplus – and because of lack of budgetary discipline surpluses are squandered without any significant infrastructural project or savings for the future."

"Finally, no economic reform process can be expected to succeed without involving and it having positive impacts on the masses. Any country or government that is not founded on a solid platform of a positive commitment to building a healthy, dynamic and progressive state, on social and economic justice, and on the rule of law is on its way to disintegration and posterity is not likely to be kind to such a government."

Dear Compatriots,

 

As the anniversary of the last pump price hike approaches and the downstream crisis in Nigeria lingers, I have decided to share with you the paper in the attachment that I did a couple of months ago on the subject matter for your reference.

 

I hope you enjoy reading it.

 

Regards

 

Jones Edobor Oformiyon
