Nigeria's Elite: Tenants Selling the Nation's Wealth

The article presents a critical view of Nigeria's elite, comparing them to tenants who sell off the nation's resources without accountability. It describes a scenario where the elite, having taken control in 1999, have been selling Nigeria's wealth—such as oil and public services—while neglecting their responsibilities.

The piece references the transformation of NEPA into PHCN and the subsequent privatization that led to poor electricity services characterized by estimated billing. It underscores the mismanagement of national assets, such as refineries, which remain unused while the country imports fuel at high prices.

The article also highlights the dire state of public primary schools, where facilities are inadequate, illustrating the broader neglect of public welfare. The narrative conveys a sense of urgency as the elite are portrayed as hastily liquidating the nation's assets before their tenure ends.
