Listening to the recorded broadcast of world influencers in
Davos, at the world economic summit, in which President Goodluck Jonathan,
Aliko Dangote and the President of Ghana were part of the debaters. I decided
to assess the result achieved by private sector in partnership with government
in aspect of public need and management of resources.
The private sector has been positively influencing in areas
of interest based on my assessment, ranging from telecommunication,
Agriculture, healthcare and most recently, electricity. With positive statistics
gotten, in areas of job creation, service availability and revenue generation.
It is a known fact that before the telecommunication sector
was privatized, my country (Nigeria) could not boast of more than 450,000
telephone lines, with employee rate of way below 50,000. Today however, due to
the private sector involvement, statistics as grown to pr more than 120 million
phone lines, providing employment for over 2 million people, apart from people
gainfully employed indirectly through ripple effects of the services rendered
and needed.
So it is with the agricultural sector, with all aspects
experiencing considerable growth, either through production, processing and
also increase in job availability. Also is healthcare and power (electricity)
experiencing quantum development in areas of service rendering and
availability.
With all this being highlighted, I would like to point out
the fact that in as much as we have recorded this growth, it is necessary that
the government put in place cautionary steps in place , so that services
rendered by them would be of excellent standard and the populace enjoys
subsidized rate.
There should be a feedback system to get information back to
the government from the general populace as regards the services rendered and
also quick response should be gotten from appropriate agencies, without
influence or bribe. Information from all quarters should be effectively
disseminated to the public, so as to know how best to enjoy services provided.
Also, the interest of the general public should be of
paramount importance to the government and not that of the lobbyist and
sections of manipulative interests. As I say, at every given opportunity, no
government can adequately provide for her citizens without private partnership,
it is the fuel that drives development, competitiveness and sustainability of a
nation.
With this, I implore more entrepreneurs and investors to
come up with business ideas to drive development, as it is the only way to
build and sustain our country.
I AM A POSITIVE NIGERIAN YOUTH, GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL
REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
