Yes, Prime Minister

https://www.google.com/search?q=fashola&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAmoVChMI94a25emMyQIVxj4UCh11VQ8e&biw=1333&bih=534
 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, ...)

Forget about PDP and APC and presidential candidates for a minute and listen...

The UBA story: some of us said well, you can't change the country politically, there is a military government in power...but Babangida has given opportunities; so why don't we take a large national institution and see what we can do about changing it and making it better...bringing all those people together was what I was proudest of. And it convinced me, that what I have always believed...you can bring people together from wherever and have them work together and forget their ethnic background;
Extended interviews with Hakeem Belo-Osagie
On Electric Power: There is a fundamental difference between telecoms and power, which makes power more complicated. [For power, we have gas supply, generation, transmission, and distribution all run differently] and for the whole system to succeed all four have to succeed.

On Refineries: There are some countries that can do state institutions, and they do them well. We don't.

On Billionaires: I'm very much against [the] notion that the higher you're on the Forbes' list the more respected you should be.

Delayed

PIB:
In January of this year, Nigerians were promised a Petroleum Industry Bill in 30 days.  In February, that was pushed to March.  And so we wait.

Jona-bus:
The buses promised as the start of a system of affordable transportation have been procured and exhibited, but certainly they are not yet plying the streets of Lagos.

YouWIN:
The winners of YouWIN, the exciting grants program for young Nigerian entrepreneurs, should have been contacted last month.  We await an announcement this month.

Power companies:
The Power Holding Company of Nigeria was legally broken into 17 successor companies in January for sale in April.  That sale has now been postponed till October.
An oil rig

While I buy in to the above programmes, it appears that we're always late.  We need project management or something.
