Dear President Muhammadu Buhari
Academics are purveyors of ideas. You are an ideas man. where there ae no ideas there is no development . development and economics are in a symbiotic relationship
Mr. President, you have done well with the start-up bill, sports business bill, MSMES support t Creative industries., and solid minerals what you need new is to go beyond financing projects to enhancing development with the brain power of 60,000 Nigerian lecturers and 9000 plus Nigerian professors in addition to thousands and Thousands of post graduates students exploring or generating new ideas.
On the Founders Day of University of Ibadan, the Nation's premier degree awarding institution the world is told that there are 133 million Nigerians experiencing multi-dimensional poverty.
mr president what we have to encourage now in the private sector, public sector and Academia is Reserarch and Developmnt.mr president you may have to do some magic a bill of some sort to encourage the private sector to carry out their own scientific and techological research ,currently they are doing nothing like that not even, DANGOTE, GLOBALCOM , OR BUA Or TONY Elumelu or FEMi Otedola, or SAHARA GROUP they are all traders of some sort.
. mr president we cannot remain a trading country, we have to do Research and development.
Mr President what Nigeria needs now is the equivalent of a Manhattan project to fight poverty, in the Manhattan project of the 1940s ,100,000 engineers and scientists were invlved.it was a matter of survival. Mr President Sir, we should go back to the universities to fight poverty to a standstill in collaboration with government and private sector and the fourth sector and Faith based organisations.
One of our best bet to fight poverty to a standstill is Professor Francis Ogbimi a Technology management expert
Mr President, I hope tomorrow would not be too late
best regards
