Bankole-Hameed Addresses Nigeria's Economic Challenges
Bankole-Hameed addresses the implications of Nigeria's fuel subsidy removal, criticizing past economic managers for their poor understanding of growth and resource utilization, leading to inefficiency and mismanagement. He reflects on Nigeria's political history, noting the failure to achieve unity among its regions since the First Republic and the negative impact of military interventions.
He cites the Biafran quest for autonomy as a symptom of deeper issues of distrust among geopolitical zones. Bankole-Hameed acknowledges some progress in infrastructure and education under the current administration, particularly praising the efforts of the Minister of Education, Chief (Dr) Tunji Moruf Alausa, in promoting Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and recognizing ASUU as partners.
He expresses hope that sustained efforts in education could fulfill Chief Awolowo's vision for a well-educated populace.
