President Buhari should declare 2021 the National Year of the Nigerian Governors and set them the following targets:
- Every governor should attract at least $10bn worth of foreign direct investment annually
- Every governor must generate at least 1,000MW of electricity
- Every governor must inaugurate a power transmission and distribution company on their state. It could be a PPP joint venture, wholly state-owned or a private concern but it must be able to electrify the whole state
- Every state must remit at least $5bn into the federation account this year and annually in subsequent years
- Every state government must build and run at least one vocational-technical college in each of its local government areas
- Every state governor must generate at least $1bn annually in export earnings
- Literacy levels must never drop below 80% in any state. If they do, a state of emergency will be declared
- Every state must initiate a public works programme that employs at least 500,000 people
- Every governor must ensure that there is a functioning general hospital in each local government area of his state
- At least one-third of every state cabinet must be women. Any state government that does not reflect this will not be recognised
