Just read Peter Obi's embarrasingly puffed-up "CV". So needless. Why does @OfficialPDPNig feel compelled to reduce him to Dino Melaye's level? Then we hear he was selected because of his knowledge of the economy. I see...Definitely a plus ca change something in the making here...

Who/what stops us from utilizing our natural gas but ourselves and our lack of political will and competent/honest execution capacity. We’ve had plans for gas going back 47 years to the 1975-1980 national development plan. Yet what have we done with that and subsequent plans?

The use of gas as a transition fuel would not only help in stemming deforestation, it would also advance Nigeria’s broader development goals, especially because Nigeria has one of the largest gas reserves in the world, according to Vice President Yemi…

True. Ever seen the NLC or TUC strike over rampant corruption committed daily in the State/Federal public/civil services? In BPE, 2002-2003, I conducted audits of NEPA and Eleme Petochemicals. Trade unions were actively complicit in killing these SOEs and so many others.
