“The scale of what he is leaving behind unfinished is staggering”

I draw a line (or try to) from a 1912 pamphlet in Colonial Lagos to Herbert Wigwe. 1914reader.com/p/unfinished-…

If you missed the CBN Governor's interview on Arise TV, here is a summary.
On FX Backlogs
- We met $7 Billion in unpaid obligations
- We had reason to believe we needed to take a harder look at those obligations.
- Deloitte was contracted to do a forensic audit of what is valid or not. The results were startling
-- $2.4 Billion had issues
-- Not having valid import documents
-- Entities did not exist got allocations
-- Entities who asked for FX got more than they asked.
-- Entities that did not ask got allocations
- We wrote to the authorized dealer to explain. Sadly much has not been disputed.
- $2.3 Billion of the validly executed ones including Airlines have been cleared.
- What remains is $2.2 billion. We are confident we will address those. We have come to the end of the road.
- The Naira remains undervalued
- The Naira will stabilise.

Same old tired platitude not backed by actual facts.
The current fx crisis is not because of over-reliance on imports, we're just not earning enough fx(from exports, remittance, etc) in addition to other issues.
Demand mgmt does not fix that, it's been tried the past 8 years
We have dollarized our Economy so bad that our focus is on the Dollar rate vs making the Naira Strong…let the Naira finds its reall value and don’t peg it against the dollar…buy local, eat local, reduce ur long throat for foreign goods

Take a look at the numbers in this tweet and graph. The actual problem and answer lies in there.
Again, export promotion not import substitution!

One explanation for the FX crisis is that while imports increased 12% to $52.1B between 2014 and 2021, Nigerian exports have collapsed by 65%, declining from $102.8B to just $47.2B during the same period. Maybe the figures have improved since 2022, but that deficit was an issue.

But improving productivity and exports is very hard work. Making the economy attractive to FDI(not just portfolio investments) is very hard work.
Easier to just lock the borders, blame 'saboteurs' and push the blame back to citizens.

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.
ALT The moon with a rocket landed in its eye. The most iconic shot of 1902 sci-fi film Le Voyage Dans La Lune.

Probably had a reaction similar to Pharell's at the end of this preview on my first listen😂
Quickly rose to be my most listened track on the album and I'd been listening to "Jesus Walks" and "Through The Wire" for a while before I discovered this.

One of his close associates that helped setup the laundry machine is the current minister of budget and economic planning btw.

As I was saying...
"Tinubu knows how to assemble a team of smart people" then proceeds to give guys like this the keys to the store house. Lmao
That's the life of a wheeling-dealing city boy I guess
