Is there a way for Naija Tech startups to tap into the pool of people who’ve (meritoriously) retired from senior positions in the public service and military? These guys are some of the most knowledgeable and experienced folks you’ll find anywhere. (1)
These guys obviously don’t code or know the contemporary industry lingo, but they understand processes and systems, have run large complex organizations, possess extensive networks, can see pitfalls & understand policy & Govt (very important, will become even more important!) (2)
Some of the most brilliant, educated, insightful Nigerians you’ll find are in or retired from the military /Perm Secs / Heads of MDAs. These people are often off-radar, by which I mean they’re not household names, & not the 1st options to come to mind for staffing startups.

Anybody who thinks that a single person needed to ‘unite’ a country of 200m is frankly deluded.

Every Nigerian leader since 1999 has been accused of not uniting the nation, & the next President in 2023 will be accused of same. That’s our way!

Uniting Nigeria is a task for ALL!
For example there’s very little any President, regardless of who he or she is, can do in the face of Media Organisations who maliciously insist on labeling certain crimes by ethnicity, while approaching other crimes differently.
The energy spent looking for a single person to ‘unite’ a country would be better spent working on ourselves as citizens, Media, CSOs, traditional & religious leaders, youth, etc, to stop being so tolerant of bigotry in our midst. To stop amplifying destructive stereotypes.

The National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) is establishing Integrated Farm Estates across Nigeria. So far, new/revived Farm Estates commissioned in Katsina, Yobe and Imo. Others ongoing—Ogun donated 100 hectares of land, Kwara 100ha, Kogi 700ha, Gombe 200ha, etc
President Buhari has asked NALDA to establish these Integrated Farm Settlements in each of the 109 Senatorial Districts in the country.
NALDA is not a new Federal agency (estab. 1992) but it’s been dormant since around 2000, until last year when PMB revived it, appointed Prince Paul Ikonne as Executive Secretary & CEO (June 2020), & directed that it be domiciled in the Presidency for direct supervision by him.

“To IPOB/ESN, the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), as well as the disparate armed groups in the forests, it is time to interrogate both the purpose and means of your campaign.” — @CCSoludo
“To the politicians playing politics with the insecurity, you are riding a tiger. The current trajectory is a road to desolation. Let us get around the table and talk. Let the elite in the closet come out, and let’s debate our future and forge a consensus.” — @CCSoludo
“The conspiracy of silence by the elite and some community leaders must end. If you see something, say or do something! Securing Igboland and Nigeria must be our collective responsibility.” — @CCSoludo

.@NigeriaGov is launching a National Emergency Medical Service and Ambulance System (NEMSAS), with a pilot to start in the FCT. (Been in the works for a bit)

In the simplest possible terms, think of it as a ‘public Uber service but for ambulances.’

See next tweet for details.
NEMSAS: “It provides a prehospital care in the form of ambulance services, to transport patients to hospitals and emergency medical treatment services for up to 48 hours in the hospitals at no immediate cost to the patient at the point of care.”
I don’t have details as to exactly how it will work, but expect more info from @Fmohnigeria.
