midterm analysis is a fair starting point. During this period, I engaged those within the corridors of power in series of dialogues just so as to arrive at a logical conclusion that is devoid of bias.
The centre cannot hold and thus, things are falling apart! Since the 2 year anniversary celebrations of mostly “air projects”, Zamfara has been on overdrive, free-falling head first, from the very top of a critically flawed system of governance to an abyss! In this quagmire, the renovation of the Government House gulped in excess of 3 billion naira! What logical explanation can be tendered in favour of this act of fiscal indiscipline? To cap it all, our overall capital expenditure performance for the year in view is an abysmal 10.5%, with the fiscal year only 2 months to end.
Governments the world over are reducing the cost of governance in order to attain some degree of fiscal sustainability. Priorities are set based on revenues and capital demands. But in Zamfara, the opposite is the norm. Why should we have a ministry for Hotels Management when the state owns none? How does this administration plan to shoulder the additional fiscal stress? Where do we get more money? The only option is to borrow more and that’s risky because our current debt stock is already in the excess of N110billion, a 65% increase since 2016.
