Former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola, is named Nigeria's Minister for Power, Works and Housing.
I just want to say,
this is hope.
I think his appointment means we'll solve electricity (with enabling laws, with incorporating solar and sustainable off-grid modules; with a real answer, and we'll do it fast. )
I believe it means that there will magically appear a road and/or rail network throughout Nigeria that enables one nation to travel for work or leisure, that there will be adopted a system of maintenance for the same, and that we will forever remember Fashola of Nigeria.
I hope it means a fair home, land, and building system that enables individuals and groups to build wealth and enterprise in a stable and safe society.
I also want to say that, should the brotha need me, I would (even) move to Abuja to be part of this revolution.
Of course if he already has the people he needs, never mind. I'll be
here campaigning for the
split workday / split workweek.
(General idea: How sweet would life be if instead of 9-5, there were two daily six-hour shifts or two weekly three-day shifts?
Everybody gains. Time, lifestyle, half the traffic, more commerce, longer business hours, better families, greater leisure, flexible time, ...)
