I was widely travelled, both within Nigeria and without, and had been exposed to the giant strides that is possible where visionary leadership is at work. I could see a few states in Nigeria reinventing themselves and pulling away from the rest developmentally in spite of the general dependence on crude oil earnings and the blight of lack- luster Federal effort. My Team and I were exhilarated by the Change which swept the nation with the election of President Muhammadu Buhari in March 2015 and his subsequent swearing-in on May 29 of same year. We realized that an opportunity, almost as great as the one we had when Nigeria returned to Civilian Rule in 1999, had once again provided itself. We reckoned it was an opportunity for discerning states to reinvent themselves and the fortunes of their people in the new epoch just beginning. We resolved to do so for Kogi State, if God and our people should ever bestow on us the privilege. E D U C AT I O N VISION MISSION Quality education for all To enhance accessible and affordable educational services in all tiers I and my able lieutenants also began to collect our ideas into a dropbox of possibilities. Some of these ideas we released later in our manifesto. We found them exciting and that excitement at what could be strengthened our resolve which in turn pushed us to double, triple, even quadruple, our efforts in our campaigns. In the fullness of the divinely-appointed time, and by a concate- nation of predictable and unforeseen events, I was elected the 4th Executive Governor of Kogi State. H E A LT H VISION MISSION A prime provider of Promotion of dynamic health affordable-to-free health care sector policy and reform for the preservation and improvement of life. 2ND YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE NEW DIRECTION, January 27th, 2016 - January 26th, 2018 The Kogi State NEW DIRECTION Blueprint which you now hold is an amplification PAGE of ideas which my Campaign Team coalesced from our brainstorming sessions those days. When we took office, we engaged consultants, The NEW DIRECTION vii Blueprint Team, to match them to my campaign promises and then build the technical infrastructure for their delivery. I must say this is a commendable job. The Team has expanded the raw data given and captured the stated aims and aspirations of the entire citizens of Kogi State based on empirical evidence from social research. These Team has distributed the identified needs into the 5 under listed thematic areas: INFRASTRUCTURE & UTILITIES VISION MISSION Securing the future of all To engage and empower every in the state citizen in achieving their goals for individual and collective advancement. The NEW DIRECTION Blueprint is a compendium of the recommended projects, missions, visions, policies strategies, targets and outcomes which will together define the NEW DIRECTION to accelerated development in which we are steering Kogi State. The five thematic areas are merely convenient docks from which to unload the Blueprint and launching the action plans on a turnkey basis. They interlock across all Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Kogi State. Each will find that one or more, if not all, of these focus areas touch on their work. There will be ongoing NEW DIRECTION Blueprint Support Services by the NEW DIRECTION Blueprint Team to sensitize MDAs and LGAs. Sufficient training, implementation, monitoring and evaluation events will be provided. LGAs, MDAs and every category of political appointees and office holders are directed to find their roles in the scheme and execute. INFRASTRUCTURE & UTILITIES VISION MISSION Infrastructure for economic growth To optimally manage infrastructure and sustainable development. and provide enabling environment to attract investors & enhance the standard of living of the citizens. This is certainly not the first document to highlight a roadmap for the develop- ment of Kogi State. However, this document promises to be different because of the political will that we have invested and will continue to invest in its imple- KOGI STATE GOVERNMENT | 2ND YEAR REFERRAL COMPENDIUM mentation. This Blueprint is to be seen primarily as an overarching marketing PAGE instrument, not an expenditure tool. Functionaries, in implementing it, are to deploy their energies and the instrumentalities of their various offices to viii sourcing and attracting investments and developmental projects to Kogi State. It is a masterful stroke that the NEW DIRECTION Blueprint Team were smart enough to incorporate the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into this document. By visionary leadership and commitment, and as we work our way through this Blueprint as a vehicle of development, it is my wish to severely reduce poverty in Kogi State within the next four years by taking at least 1,000,000 residents (about 25% of the populace) above the National Multi-di- mensional Poverty Index. PRODUCTIVE PUBLIC SERVICE & PENSION REFORMS VISION MISSION A professionalize Civil Service and Using modern reforms in governance productive workforce, sanitize to transform the state civil service to pension system. truly deliver on their potential with strong desire to meet the welfare of all I am therefore pleased to unveil my Administration’s Blueprint for the NEW DIRECTION we envisage for Kogi State. They represent my intentions and the workable action-plans of this Government for Kogi State. I invite the Good People of Kogi State as well as all and sundry to undertake this exciting journey to the Kogi State of our dreams with us. God Bless Kogi State. God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Thank you. His Excellency, ALHAJI YAHAYA A.

It is expedient to consider the remarkable feats performed by the Governor and his Team to improve the lives of Kogi State citizens despite the enormous chal- lenges confronting his administration. Due to his bold and informed policies, the Administration has decreased the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPIs) as applicable to Kogi State. Despite the hue and cry over the “harsh” effect of his reforms, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations have noted in the 2017 MPI ratings that Kogi State actually improved by several decimal points.

    Nigeria and the Politics of Unreason Page 1 of 27 Nigeria and the Politics of Unreason: Political Assassinations, Decampments, Moneybags, and Public Protests By Victor E. Dike Introduction The problems facing Nigeria emanate from many fronts, which include irrational behavior (actions) of the political elite, politics of division, and politics devoid of political ideology. Others factors are corruption and poverty, lack of distributive justice, regional, and religious cleavages. All these combine to create crises (riots and conflicts) in the polity, culminating in public desperation and insecurity, politics of assassinations, decampments (carpet crossing), moneybags, and public protests. All this reached its climax during the 2003 elections. When the nation thinks it is shifting away from these forces, they would somersault and clash again creating another political thunderstorm. It looks that the society would hardly outgrow ‘the politics of unreason’ (Lipset and Raab, 1970), which is often politics of extremism, because the political class is always going beyond the limits of what are reasonable to secure or retain political power. During the 2003 elections moneybags (instead of political ideology) directed political actions in political parties; and it also influenced the activities of many politicians. As a result, the presidential candidates of the two major political parties (PDP and ANPP) cliched their party tickets by stuffing the car boots, so to say, of their party delegates with Ghana-Must- Go bags. This frustrated and intimidated their political opponents within (and those in the other minor political parties). Since after his defeat by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in the 2003 PDP primary in Abuja, Dr.

Thanks to the British colonial administration, a myriad of individual groups professing various faiths and belonging to different ethnicities have found themselves in a tense, unsettled and competitive political system. Unsurprisingly, there have been several attempts to undermine the profile of the state.

  • The Standoff
    TWO THE STANDOFF L Introduction to the Riots __________________ In this and the next two volumes, we are going to take a hard and detailed look at the long series of religious riots and related activities that have punctuated Nigerian affairs from the late 1970s right into the new millennium. The emphasis in this volume will be on the events themselves, while interpretations will follow later. A hard distinction between fact and interpretation is mythical, of course, for we see facts only through the lenses of our own world view and opinion. Christian and Muslim reports as to what actu- ally happened vary considerably, because of the differences in their lenses. For this reason, I regret that my Christian information sources about the “facts” of the riots are much more abundant than my Muslim ones. My materials on the various riots are a clear demonstration of the biased nature of the “facts.” Part of the report is based on Christian “facts” and the other on Muslim “facts.” The result gives the impression of two different worlds. Nevertheless, I will try to emphasize the event aspect of these developments as 34 Studies in Christian-Muslim Relations objectively as possible, while realizing that interpretation, especially selection, is inevitably involved. I will turn the tables around in the following volumes, where I will emphasize interpretation. The emphasis will be on detailed facts—sometimes, on gory facts. The reason for such emphasis is not to create sensationalism, but in order to show the depth of hatred and anger these facts dis- play. They show the profundity of the problems Nigeria faces bet- ter than any polite gentleman’s account could accomplish.
