--Joe Attueyi:Some quick response, before I head off to do other things:On Sun, Nov 29, 2015 at 4:47 PM, 'Joe Attueyi' via AfricanWorldForum <africanworldforum@googlegroups.com> wrote:Prof Aluko,Things must getting very desperate in Otuoke --the land of 5 citizens and 5 crocodiles according to my brother Abba.No desperation whatsover...Otuoke has never been a "land of 5 citizens and 5 crocodoiles." In fact, with 1,800 staff and 2,300 students, the once-sleepy town is bubbling with activity.....Abba is given to hyperbole, and you are given to rumor-mongering... He should visit sometime, and you should visit again soon.......Kilode paapaa? Hehehehe!PMB gets an 'A' on the basis that we had a free and fair election in May, Jonathan peacefully handed over? Really?To have gallant loser in GEJ, you got to have a gallant winner....PMB scores an A for being the gallant winner.Na waoh for WAEC.It would seem you need some lessons on objective appraisals. You know the type that sets Specific Measurable and Time bound goals BEFORE and measures results against these objectives AFTER.A good starting point for your sunday lesson would be the Buharimeter maintained by the folks at BudgetiT et alDid I hear you say thank you? You are welcome. My public serviceTo fulfil all righteousness, I have added this table, which I call Project 222 of Buharimetry...:

You are welcome to judge PMB's ministries on 222 promises. I judge PMB only on three promises - Security, Anti-Corruption and Employment.
By the way, please note that "Buharimeter" is an initiative of Center for Democracy and Development (Solids Mineral Minister Kayode Fayemi's is its 1997 founder, and importer into Nigeria in 1999 see http://ngmanifesto.org/about-cdd/), but sponsored by OSiWa, with BudgIt as a listed partner (and designer of the website). So don't go saying as if it is a BudgIt initiative - it is not.
And there you have it. Did I hear you deflate - a lesson in objectivity?

SUNDAY MUSING: PMB @ SIX MONTHS: MY SCORE-CARD

TABLE 1: A Score-card of PMB at Six Months
S/N
Item
Date(s)
Remarks
Grade
Basis
What is there left to be done?
1
Ascension to Presidency by Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) and Vice-Presidency by Yemi Osibajo (VYO)
May 29, 2015
Preached "Change", he "belong(s) to everybody and to nobody" in particular…..
A
Free-and-Fair election; Goodluck Jonathan handed over peacefully
Focus on mandate delivery in the next three-and-a-half years
2
Filled Various Administration Positions that don't require Senate Approval (SGF, etc.)
Various dates
Criticisms of ethnic unfairness, etc.
A
Has a right to choose these officials; within his constitutional limits.
"6,000" more positions yet to be filled…
3
Filled Ministerial positions (36 in 25 Ministries)
Various dates
Some portfolios were surprising, but all in all competent hands, but will they succeed in present positions? (see Table 2)
B+
Fashola, Fayemi, Ngige, Audu, Amaechi, Udo Udoma…these are proven performers…the taste of the pudding will be in the eating
Ensure that each minister and ministry fit into the three-point agenda of Security, Anti-Corruption and Employment, with growing an INCLUSIVE ECONOMY as the over-arching ambition, not just INDICIAL DEVELOPMENT
4
Security
Various
Chose physically-fit and performing Heads of Military service branches; offensive strategy; increased morale, equipment, intelligence and information. Gave a target deadline for eliminating Boko Haram; degraded, but not fully yet
Regional and international collaboration on cross-border security matters
B+
Whole tracts of land have been recovered from BH, and many IDPs are returning to their homes. However bombings continue – to be expected of insurgencies of this type
Pressing on with the offensive strategy
Looking out for security challenges elsewhere in the country (SE, SS), using lessons learnt in previous instances to stem further conflagration
Establish state and community policing in the shortest possible time
5
Anti-Corruption
Various
Initial focus on stemming corruption in Federal public service, in conjunction with its interface with the private sector (particularly oil and gas, as well as agriculture and insurance)
Enforcement of Treasury Single Action, Bank Verification Number (BVN) and the banning of payment of foreign currency (cash) into Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) inside Nigeria.
Re-energizing EFCC and ICPC, and going after loot recovery, both at home and abroad
A-
These are far reaching steps, that may not yield all fruits right away, but in time, I am absolutely confident that they will.
Asset Declaration by all public officials should be accessible to all registered NGOs who have "right-to-know"
Amend Section 308 of Constitution to enable criminal prosecution of Executives at Federal, State and Local Government levels.
Institute absolute zero tolerance for bribery and corruption among (1) the Police and (2) Judges…zero tolerance…even a hint of it.
6
Employment
Various
PMB has identified ECONOMY DIVERSIFICATION – in non-oil sectors such as solid minerals, agriculture, culture and tourism, infrastructure and service industries – as the key to increasing employment, both on the short run and the long-run
B
Our oil economy has tanked, unlikely to recover any time soon…..yet we still have oil than most countries in the workd, and also have 1 million square kilometers of fertile and God-endowed land, sea and air….Competent ministers have been placed to guide these vital sectors
I am looking forward to the 2016 BUDGET – it will give an indication of the true direction of PMB's ECONOMIC POLICY. I expect (1) removal of subsidy (2) conditional cash transfer (3) massive infrastructural development coupled with work corps (4) agricultural incentives with low-interest-rate loans, (5) a better balance between recurrent and capital expenditures (6) a quadrupling of the budget quantum etc.
