In response to the ongoing #EndbadGovernance protests sweeping across Nigeria, governance and strategic management expert, Sir (Dr) Leesi Gborogbosi, has put forward a three-step plan aimed at resolving the crisis.
Dr. Gborogbosi challenged President Bola Tinubu to implement his proposed measures, expressing confidence that they would effectively end the demonstrations.
Enumerating the conceived steps, he stated, “First, Mr President should make a national broadcast pleading with the protesters to give the government a 30-day grace period.
“Step two, the President should call for a five-day Emergency Economic Crisis (EEC) Meeting and Workshop in Abuja. Invitees to the workshop should include the President, Governors, LG Chairmen, Traditional Rulers, Business Leaders and Representatives of Youth and Women.
“Then, within five days, the gathering should develop an economic and development plan that can solve the problems of hunger, poverty, joblessness, security and foreign exchange, among others.
“And lastly, going forward, President Tinubu should present the outcomes of the 5-day workshop to the Nigerian people to ensure buy-in and then implement the outcomes immediately in all LGAs, States and Abuja.”
According to him, the implication is that, “This approach will Renew Hope in Nigerians”. In the Kenyan experience, the President refused to talk to the people at the onset, and we all know the outcome of the Kenyan protest.
“Let’s support President Tinubu to succeed by giving him honest feedback. The success of President Tinubu is the success of Nigeria.
He further cautioned that, “A leader should periodically drop those in his inner circle who are not adding value.”
