[1] This new Federal Ministry of Coastal Affairs should be given oversight for the Lagos to Calabar railway line. It should be a high speed rail link that runs at about 250km an hour

[2] One other big task this ministry should have is that a six lane motorway should also be built along Nigeria’s 853km coastline. It should be pot hole-free and tolled to cover its costs

[1] For me this is a very straightforward matter. Nigeria accounts for 2.5% of the world’s population, so should account for 2.5% of global industrial output

[2] One in 40 humans is Nigerian, so one in every 40 industrial goods should be manufactured in Nigeria

[1] Why has the Northern States Governors Forum not met and agreed to float a National Livestock Bank of Nigeria? Its primary aim should be to offer loans to herdsmen so they can open ranches and raise their livestock there

[2] I believe the 19 states should have like say a 30% stake in the bank. Corporate stakeholders should have like a 40% holding in the venture, with the remaining 30% sold to the public
