Do you want my team to help restructure your business for higher productivity?
Written By: (Sir) Dr Leesi Gabriel Gborogbosi, ,
It is no secret that sound economic and development policies are integral to the growth and development of nations. Governments formulate these policies with inputs from the private sector, but the translation of economic growth into development is done by the private and social sectors.
Unfortunately, many of us are not aware of any competitive economic policies and plans at the federal and state levels, including Rivers State.
For over two decades (since 1999), we have allowed ourselves to be driven from participation in the economic process, resulting in career politicians wasting 24 years of our lives.
State and local governments must make their states and local government areas succeed respectively.
Even if Nigeria refuses to work, we cannot fold our hands and allow Rivers State and our three senatorial areas to continue to fail.
The time has come for us to get involved and help Rivers State government and ourselves to grow the economy out of love for ourselves, not because we agree with the value-destroying behaviour of the government.
To this end, we will be encouraging the Rivers State government to inspire Rivers Technocrats to work as a team to provide solutions that will navigate the current economic landmines and dangerous spinoffs.
As a first step, these best brains will develop a simple and implementable economic model with the right governance structure to drive economic growth, development, and global competitiveness in the state and the three senatorial areas.
The model must be simple, implementable, and adaptable to the changing times. The governance structure must be right, and the private and social sectors must be involved in its implementation.
I have developed an integrated and governance model which is ready and available. It is an effective tool for the implementation of economic policies/plans of government.
The outcome of our works will be made available to all the tiers of government as a paid consulting.
It is imperative that we recognize the importance of economic policies and plans as they are the backbone of any thriving economy. The development of a sound economic model is crucial to the growth and development of any state.
We must also recognize the importance of periodic reviews and adjustments to these policies. The economic landscape is ever-changing, and our policies must be able to adapt to these changes to remain relevant and effective and globally competitive.
It is important to note that the focus of technocrats like me is to provide advisory to government but not to work in government.
This is the time to help the Rivers State government to succeed. When the time for politics comes, we will contest the governorship election.
In summary, we must get involved and help the Rivers State government and ourselves to grow the economy out of love for ourselves.
We must work together to develop a sound economic model with the right governance structure to drive economic growth, development, and global competitiveness in the state and the three senatorial areas.
Let us not wait for the government to continue to fail. Let’s take charge and make a difference in our state and ultimately, our nation.
