Thanks Ayo, for another powerful ray of light into the darkening gloom over Nigeria. You chose two corridors — health and education — both of them, very important indeed. The statistics you published are most important in the context of change. I wonder what a bigger picture would look like from say 1950. It would be most interesting to look at how budgeting for both corridors have travelled from the last decade of Colonial Administration through variegated governance to the present.

You could not have written about everything in the time and space, however, I want to point out that you might have had a sentence, perhaps a paragraph as in your characteristic "takes," added to say that modern human development is possible only against the background of adequate and reliable electric power supply. Muddling continues apace in that sector. Kind regards,

S O Uwaifo.
