USA Africa Dialogue Series - How to Really Fix America’s Infrastructure Problem (Re: Open Grazing Banned - FGN


Seye Adetunmbi:

In order to elaborate on Bolaji Balogun's contribution below, I thought I should share with all who care this April 2017 article on Infrastructure improvement in the USA.  Virtually all the points made in it apply to Nigeria, whether it is focusing on the economic outcomes, ensuring accountability, devolving to Subnational levels and encouraging private sector participation. 

Many of the socio-economic ills of Nigeria will be alleviated if there is sacrificial concentration of infrastructure development.  But there is probably sufficient money for our needs, but not for our greed. 

And there you have it.

An annual report by the  American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) notes that there are now nearly 56,000 bridges nationwide that are structurally deficient. The report revealed that over one in four bridges (173,919) are at least 50 years old and have never had major reconstruction work.

America is ripe for major investment in infrastructure. But making it pay off will require not just addressing the funding gaps but also fundamentally redesigning the country's approach. McKinsey's research suggests that every well-spent dollar of infrastructure investment would raise GDP by 20¢ in the long run–if deployed correctly. These four steps could help:

1. FOCUS ON THE OUTCOMES

U.S. infrastructure strategy almost exclusively emphasizes inputs, such as planning, procurement and construction requirements, rather than the desired outcomes. It should focus on impacts: Will a road project reduce travel times or make it safer? Will a project promote economic development, create jobs and support interstate commerce?

Large-scale, multistate projects often bring the biggest payoff. But these can also be the most difficult to deliver. Take, for example, the Gateway Program in New York and New Jersey. By replacing century-old rail assets critical to the Northeast, it has the potential to improve citizens' mobility and foster enormous economic benefits for the region. Metropolitan congestion is a national imperative. Oil- and gas-pipeline capacity, particularly at the regional level, shapes manufacturing location decisions, national competitiveness and job creation.

2. ESTABLISH A CLEAR POINT OF ACCOUNTABILITY WITHIN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

When it comes to approving and managing projects, federal agencies often have conflicting mandates and priorities. No one agency or entity is truly empowered to break ties. Protecting the environment is rightly a cornerstone of the U.S. evaluation process. But other democracies suggest it is possible to properly review projects and mitigate risks while also moving them forward in as little as half the time. Australia created an accountable body specifically to improve the permitting process and eliminate decision paralysis. In Canada, the Infrastructure Ontario program built more than 30 hospitals on time and on budget.

The federal government could also help catalyze better performance from the construction industry. U.S. construction-labor productivity is lower today than it was in 1968, while all other major industrial sectors have experienced impressive gains. We need a national effort to systematically unlock productivity-enhancing innovations.

3. EMPOWER STATE AND LOCAL EXPERIMENTS

In our experience, many of the most successful and innovative recent projects were delivered by mayors or governors. While these projects are city- or state-owned and -operated, the federal government typically funds, finances and regulates the vast majority of water, wastewater and transportation projects. Washington can learn from cities and states, collecting and sharing innovations from across the country.

For existing infrastructure, the federal government could provide incentives for cities and states to more rapidly deploy smart solutions like demand-based pricing and Internet of Things technology to evaluate problems and manage performance in real time.

4. ATTRACT MORE PRIVATE-SECTOR FUNDING

Private investors have some $120 trillion in assets under management, and they are looking for solid long-term investments. As the head of one U.S. pension fund told us, "In theory, the U.S. would be the greatest infrastructure investment market in the world. In reality, it isn't worth the headache, and the pipeline of projects is pitiful."


Multibillion-dollar federal credit programs such as TIFIA, WIFIA and RRIF can be powerful tools to attract capital and increase the project pipeline.

Lastly, the federal government could consider providing incentives to the states to monetize existing assets and redeploy the income into new projects. Australia has spurred significant increases in infrastructure investment since its federal government implemented a program that offers a 15% premium to any state that monetizes an asset, as long as the proceeds go to new infrastructure.

FG 'bans' open grazing to curb herdsmen-farmers clashes

The federal government has reportedly banned the open grazing of cattle in the country.

The ban is coming days after suspected herdsmen attacked two communities in Benue state.

According to The Nation, the decision to ban the group was reached after a meeting of a federal government delegation, security agencies and five governors.

Samuel Ortorm, Benue state governor, was said to have made the decision known in a communique issued after the meeting.

"The meeting noted that all animal farmers must ranch their cattle and livestock for better productivity. It also observed the existing synergy between the security agencies and between the states and the Federal Government," Ortom was quoted as saying..

The closed-door meeting, which lasted for hours, was attended by the governors of Adamawa, Benue, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Niger and Taraba states, and heads of security agencies.

Ortom also said it was agreed at the meeting that Nigerians should desist from hate speeches that were fuelling the crisis.

He urged Nigerians to see it as a national challenge that demanded the efforts of all to be checked.

"As you can see all the governors of the states where we have the most challenging security problem are here," Ortom said.

"We have dialogued; we have looked at the problem with the security chiefs and appreciated each other.

"One thing that is central is that we have agreed that killing in any form is not allowed; security men must apprehend and prosecute those responsible.

"There is no point politicising these killings; it is the responsibility of all Nigerians to eliminate the criminality that is resulting in the killings."

Audu Ogbeh, minister of agriculture, has said the federal government will establish cattle colonies across the country to curb increasing cases of clashes between farmers and herdsmen.

Permit me, an Ekiti man by association and fellowship to contribute to this livestock farming conversation. Firstly, happy, healthy and a prosperous New Year to you all.

Like so many of our economic and social problems in Nigeria, the challenges of nomadic livestock farming in Nigeria among other things are an infrastructure problem. Fundamentally, all agrarian nations until they make the necessary investments in power, transportation and water networks witness these challenges. Nigeria's lack of power and equally, significant cold chain and water infrastructure means that we are always moving livestock rather than water and we are always moving it in search of water and fodder. Brazil, as an example has 300 million plus heads of cattle. If you have travelled around urban and rural Brazil, you do not see livestock moving, rather what is moving is meat through a cold chain, by rail and road to major cities, ports and airports to all kitchens, restaurants and tables around the world.

The transformative potential of infrastructural development for Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. Major infrastructure development projects create hundreds of thousands of low to mid-skill jobs on a sustained, long-term basis across the entire project value chain, from design, construction to operation, as well as maintenance. In 2013, the Africa Development Bank ("AfDB") estimated that Nigeria's GDP could have grown by an additional 2 percentage points (vs. 5.4% actually recorded) if we had greater infrastructure stock. Furthermore, access to infrastructure greatly influences the productivity of private investment and improves a country's competitiveness. Every $1 investment on infrastructure has an estimated multiplier effect of 6-8x on economic activity.  Sustained infrastructural investment will be key to realizing Nigeria's twin economic objectives of diversification and industrialization. Inadequate power and transportation networks currently hamper the agricultural industry by limiting processing capabilities and the efficient movement of produce from farms to domestic and export markets. Inadequate transportation networks especially rail is a significant constraint if mining output is to be moved to ports for export to other markets. It will be impossible to improve our currently thin industrial and manufacturing base without reliable and efficient power supply. Power generation, back-up and other self-generation costs imposes a significant cost burden on business, accounting for an estimated 15-40% of operating expenses across industries and a significant portion of capital expenditure for large industrial businesses. Improvements in infrastructure attract further domestic and foreign investments and it is these investments, which are critical to job creation, perhaps Nigeria's most important demography related challenge for a country that will have 500 million people in 30 years. Improved infrastructure will also lead to better social outcomes, including education, health and life expectancy.  Strong economic growth in all emerging markets has always been premised on a consistent and rapid infrastructure development programme. No country globally has succeeded in developing its economy, in diversifying its economy and in lifting its people out of poverty without a substantial programme of rapid and diversified investment in its infrastructure stock. 

Through the recession, one part of Nigeria's government and economy continued to grow – Lagos State. Lagos has built a disciplined approach to financing infrastructure through the capital markets, raising bonds which are applied 100% to infrastructure. On average75% to physical infrastructure (roads, power, rail etc) – and 25% to social infrastructure (education, healthcare, stadia and parks). Compare this to the sovereign, which raises bonds and utilizes a majority to finance recurrent expenditure and a minority for capital expenditure including infrastructure. I always remember a speech by late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, from 1963 I believe, where he remarks that the Western region government's greatest achievement was keeping recurrent expenditure in the prior year to under 25%.

There is so much in our history that remains relevant and applicable today and as a nation, there is an urgent imperative for us to commit to a massive public and private investment over the next 30 years into building the infrastructure to support what will be the third most populous nation on earth. Over 200,000 megawatts of power, up to 10,000 kms of rail, up to 100,000 kms of roads, up to 5,000kms of gas networks, water, waste management, broadband and further telecoms infrastructure, educational and healthcare infrastructure, student housing etc, need to be developed, financed and built. We must also do this with a focus on low carbon infrastructure.

I wish us all a most exciting journey.

Subject: [Capitalmarketroundtable] Solutions to Problems Associated with Nomadic Livestock Farming in Nigeria - Bode Ojo

 

 

An extract of discourse in Ekitipanupo Forum towards finding a lasting solution to livestock farming issues and eliminating the menace of violent herdsmen in Nigeria.



Bode Ojo wrote:

Agricultural and security experts can provide the necessary solutions to the problems associated with nomadic livestock farming.

Scenerios:

1. A technical and investigative study of the immediate and remote causes of the problems associated with livestock farming in Nigeria should be carried out by government, particularly that of nomadic herdsmen. Recommendations should be made on how to mitigate all the failures in that sector and redevelop the sector. A crime free society is desirable. 

2. Currently,farmers are being encouraged by agricultural experts to cultivate a particular type of plant that is repoignant to cattle,round the farm. This will keep the animals off.

3. The herdsmen should be encouraged to feed their livestock with forage crops.
Forage crops are crop cultivated for feeding livestock. Nomadic herdsmen for now,prefer zero cost feeding.

4. Modernisation of livestock farming in Nigeria.

5. Establishment of meat processing factories in the North and the middle belt. Afterall,we eat imported frozen fish,frozen turkey and frozen fish in Nigeria. Farmers,state government and Nafdac can work together and standardise meat processing business.
We don't need too many heads of cattle down south.. What we need is animal protein. The animals are no pets,why must we flood the south with them.

6. Irrigation practices in the North will provide lush vegetation for feeding animals up North. 

7. The political dimensions of the activities of herdsmen should be addressed. Apparently, some of them are involved in communal clashes. Some are land grabbers.

8. Government should address the issue of proliferation of light and small arms in West Africa..

9. Education,both formal and informal should be widespread in terms of capacity and quality,nationwide. We need to make our citizens appreciate the value of life and the essence of living.

10. Elimination of the culture of impunity in our land. The rule of law must be established in Nigeria.

11. Strict state control laws on illegal activities of herdsmen and appropriate sanctions should be meted out to those who violate the laws of the land. 

12. Government should disarm all herdsmen and ensure their biometric registration. The state and federal government can collaborate on this.

13. Job creation nationwide will reduce all crimes.

14. Export of meat products like corned beef will create an external market.

15. There is possibility of a boycott of meat products,if the herdsmen remain unlawful.

16. The agricultural sector in the North needs to be well structured and repositioned for Northern state governments to tax the players and enhance their IGR.



17. There is need for rapid intelligence gathering and proactive steps on the part of government and all intelligence agencies.
Also, we need to employ modern technology in the area of security management in our clime.


We have said it severally that we need to build strong social institutions and strong people. It is therefore very necessary that as a nation,we must embark on a cultural revolution. The time to up our value system is now. For long we have been with poor values. Our nation is deficient in moral capital.


I strongly believe that with a clear focus, government can tackle all the problems associated with nomadic livestock farming in Nigeria. We did not have crisis of this magnitude in the 1960s to 1980s.

Debo its a shame this horrible thing has been going on for this long without a decisive action by government.

That conceded, and also the obvious fact that those who kill must also die, please come with me and let's reason together while I play the devil's advocate.

What is the longterm solution to the herdsmen problem?

Now, these people have no other occupation besides being pastoralists. Hundreds, if not thousands, of animals are in their care and there is aggressive poaching going on which means they need keep means of defending both themselves and their herd.

 Unlike Trump, you and I believe in climate change and know that vegetation in the Northernmost parts of the country is fast receding pushing the southwards movement of these people.

Given these circumstances, and bearing in mind that ranching, even if the Fulani's come round to liking it, is not picked off shelf. Nor do I believe it is government's function to fund private business.

What then is the realistic solution, short and longtime?

I ask these questions in the belief that the herdmen's problem is not party specific, that is, ousting one political party does not immediately translate to solution.

Please note that what I invite here is a sober interrogation of the problem.

Thank you.

I doubt if you are as knowledgeable as the ambassador or as well informed as he is. The information at his disposal may not be at your disposal. Besides,the genocide/ethnic cleansing that is taking in Benue state and other parts of the federation is enough to run someone one mad. He who feels it,knows it.
Why not listen to him,do not agree or disagree with him. You don't have to be partisan on the Benue issue.
Please let Buhari and his aides respond to him. Sadly,things have gone bad already. The federal government's counter insurgency strategy is not effective.

> I would have loved to wish you a happy new year, but I am not a hypocrite. I am not happy and nobody in Benue is happy today, because many of our citizens did not have a happy new 2018. Genocide on citizens of Nigeria has escalated in earnest in Benue State. This genocide has turned their happiness to nightmare and death. Let me also apologize for making this letter public. It is not in my character. In this case there is an emergency and urgency, which cannot wait.

> I am pained that you ignored my advice in my private memorandum to you dated 30th July 2016.  I had warned you of the possibility of a horrendous genocide in Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, and Southern Adamawa States.. I asked you to be proactive and stop the genocide that has been ongoing but which would burst out in the open and shock the world within 18 months. Your office replied my letter on September, 28th 2016, and the reply was couriered to me in the United States, thanking me "immensely" and giving me the assurances that the advice would be heeded.


> With the current situation on ground, I regret to now inform you that it is seventeen months since my warning and prediction and your government did nothing to pre-empt or prevent the genocide.  The nomadic terrorists have finally accelerated the ethnic cleansing in Benue State. They have strategically moved against the Tiv, the largest minority ethnicity in northern Nigeria. These perpetrators believe that if they can ethnic cleanse the Tiv, then nobody can stand in their way to possess the land and carve a new geo-polity and demography for the middle-belt.
> 1.  Now that you have allowed the genocide in the Middle Belt to go on unimpeded you have betrayed your campaign promise to Nigerians that your government ''will always act in time and not allow problems to irresponsibly fester''. In allowing the Benue genocide to take place your government has acted irresponsibly and has allowed problems to fester and failed to act on time.. You have also failed to lead from the front; giving the impression that centrifugal forces around you are dictating vicious anti-people agenda!

> 2.  Mr. President, the protection of lives and property of the citizens is more important than your war against corruption! The protection of lives of citizens is the most sacred responsibility of the state and your presidency. Your government has failed woefully in this regard. Mr President there is no greater corruption than the government looking the other way while the strong bullies and kills the weak with impunity and pleasure!
> 3. Your Excellency, in your passion (monomania, I think!) to rid the country of corruption, you have totally ignored nation building and ended up with a very divided country. You have failed your immediate Northern constituency by your inability, failure or lack of the political will to end northern poverty through measures that enhance school enrolment, promote girl-child education, and revive dead industries.  You became Nigeria's president on the altar of northern unity when the northern minorities abandoned President Goodluck Jonathan to vote for you. You have now desecrated that altar. By refusing to arrest those that brutally butchered defenseless innocent Benue women and children, you have imperiled northern unity and taken sides with evil.

> 5.  Nobody can deny that you still have a horde of admirers, which still look up to you with great admiration; however, the Benue genocide seriously questions your integrity, and your capacity to lead a plural modern state. Is there a rule of law in this country? Why does the Miyetti Allah act with so much impunity? Is this because this terrorist group claims you as their life patron? Do not accept the clamor of those who for their personal political reasons urge you to contest in the 2019 election to be a second term president! Mr. President, please rise above the impression being given that you are just another power obsessed and hungry politician!
> 6.  Step aside and open the political space for another person to continue your war against corruption with a more comprehensive development program that Nigeria needs and deserves. For now, modernize infrastructure and try to banish poverty. And while your party campaigns for 2019, take a sabbatical from partisanship and   build national unity, good governance and concentrate on getting rid of Boko Haram and the Herdsmen Terrorists. After all, great people are not great for winning elections; rather they are known to be great by the legacy they leave behind. With what legacy do you wish the country to remember you for? It is unfortunate that family members of those that were hacked to death will remember you as the genocide president!
