Dear country manager nigeria and secretary General UNited nations
I would like you to key into the idea of a befitting secretariat complex for the association of nigerian authors oyo state branch. Based in Ibadan the publishing capital of nigeria, the worlds largest indigenous black city and the political nerve centre of the black world
The ANA secretariat is to be named after the legendary ibadan man, sanusi Adebisi who paid the Tax for all ibadan people.!
TAX IS CRUCIAL to development.writers are said to be veterbrae of society,they are purveyors of ideas for without ideas there may be no development.we also call on the African development bank to support our project. And United nation's development programme UNDPand other agencies of the UN working on sustainable development goals.
We have a lot to erite about. For instance consider that
40 milion nigerians practice open defecation.we need public toilets, public baths and Potable Water
.civilization started with the invention of the public toilets and water is life or is the most important of the SDGs. There are 135 milion nigerians exposed to contaminated water or killer water.
nigeria has the worlds worse access to electricity. The srory of the 20th century is the story of electricity.we are now supposed to be in the 21st century.
we are not poor in nigeria
We have 300 bilion dollars held down in Dubai,40 billion dollars stolen from nigerian national petroleum corporation nnpc and Lodged in Texas,USa and very large sums too, billions Lodge in Luxembourg, cayman Islands and England.these monies can be used to save the planet by reason oif mathematics education and reseach, science education and research, engineering and technology education and resesrch.any thing can happen that could result in catastrophe for the planet hence the need to cast our nets wider.we cannot afford to be complacent.
Space ship earth is flying into uncertainty.
We are not poor in nigeria we have 800 bilion dollars of dead capital as unearthed by the professional services firm , pricewaterhouse .
We are not poor in nigeria we accidentally discovered 200 trillion cubic feet of gas it cost s 1.22 dollars for a 100 cubic feet.so that is an enormous amount of wealth.if we go in search of gas this time we are likely to find 600 trillion cubic feet of gas! Nigeria is a gas country not an oil country.all nigerias oil are but a drop on a sea of gas! Then we have solid minerals beyond your wild imagination in all stares of the federation.
Mean while there are 20 miliion nigerian children out of school,23 milion unemployed, shortage of 25 milion houses
Despite our enormous resource we pay pittance to our 9000 professors, and 60,000 lecturers and we have frustrated our medical Doctors with there are no libraries.no laboratirues or computers befitting our 1 8 milion undergraduates. And it is
miserable pay and miserable conditions of service for .
The larger body of nigerian workers are not left out.decent pay for decent work.
There are also 39 miliin like me living with disabilities.we are not captured by government we perhaps do not exist in government thinking.
There are 7 miliion babies born every year in nigeria and 60 per cent of them are exposed to jaundice with the result they may develop brain damage,cerebral palsy, visual impairment and hearing impairment.e. a grace Humanitarian disaster.
Lastly there are 41 milion SMEs . I rest my case.thank you for your time
