My Statement
What I bring to the service table is encapsulated in
four words: Hope, Courage,
Passion and Devotion. Thinking straight, talking straight
and acting straight are basic ingredients. Nigeria is the hope of the black race
and when Nigeria is healthy, the healing is spread across the entire continent.
We continously engage to ensure that only the "right" things are done and must be
done right always.
Nigeria has enjoyed or agonized over four oil booms:
Period 1 1974 - 1978
Period 2 1979 - 1983
Period 3 1990 - 1994
Period 4 2004 - date.
With deep reflection on how we have managed the following during the oil booms;
- Overall balance
- Inflation
- Reserves
- External debts
- Non oil GDP growth.
It is only at period 4 we made strategic policy choices with positive impacts on
the economy.
Lesson:
If we do not learn from history, we shall be compelled to
relive
it, True. But if we do not change the future, we shall be compelled to
endureit.
And that could be WORSE! - by
Alvin Toffler .
The time to change the future is
NOW
and your contribution in whichever way shall be rewarded by posterity.
