NIGERIA NATIONAL TRANSFORMATION BILL
SPONSORED BY IZEGBU L C
Fellow Nigerians,
Reversing Nigeria’s decline is less a matter of rocket science and more a question of political will and effective governance.
Our country, rich in resources and talent, has seen its fortunes dwindle, with yesterday’s Nigeria often preferable to today’s reality. SAD!
This isn’t an inevitable fate, but a consequence of choices made. Over 500 foreign companies have exited Nigeria, and national assets like the refinery, airline, and post office have been dismantled, victims of corruption and neglect. This isn’t normal.Over 900billion dollars has been stolen by less than 2% of our population. God have mercy upon us.
While governments come and go, Nigerians have grown accustomed to this dysfunction, even defending those responsible.
Yet, countries like Singapore, China, and Malaysia have faced similar crises and transformed themselves through collective action. If Nigerians want a functional nation they can be proud of, I propose this Bill:
