I just hope that Tinubu comes back from his trip abroad with coherent programmes to resolve all these problems which are driving investors away from Nigeria 

Ayo Akinfe

[1] Insecurity which means that foreign workers and their families can be abducted, robbed or even killed

[2] Government ministers constantly demanding bribes from investors. This is what ultimately drove Richard Branson away from the country

[3] Political uncertainty. Tomorrow, a new government can get elected and unilaterally change the law, refusing to honour long terms agreements that are in place

With Ramadan due to end this weekend I would just love it if the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs and the Christian Association of Nigeria issued a joint economic communique for Bola Tinubu that reads like this 

Ayo Akinfe

[1] We have suspended the collection of tithes and zakat contributions from all our members until further notice. Given the hardships many of them are facing, it would be morally wrong to collect money from them now

[2] Every registered imam and pastor in Nigeria who is a member of our organisations will take a 50% pay cut for this months of April and May 2023

I suspect that Tinubu will not return to Nigeria until after the coronation of King Charles. I thus hope he has drawn up audacious plans to woo British investors during his London visit 

Ayo Akinfe

[1] First of all, his entourage to London must include industrialists like Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola, Alakija, etc. Their jobs would have been to secure joint deals with British enterprueners like Richard Branson and Alan Sugar

[2] He should also take along a team of crack economists like Charles Soludo, Lamido Sanusi, Pat Utomi, Kingsley Moghalu, etc. Their job would be to set deal targets and then make sure these targets are met
