Selonnes Policy Tidbits: | Covid-19 Response; we must overcome groupthink.
For Nigeria to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic, the national leadership must overcome the Groupthink syndrome that is driving national response. The “Central Minds of Government” can’t do it alone. By working on the problem in isolation, FGN risk losing sight of the bigger, more pressing nation-wide issue: lockdown is stoking hunger and anger! FGN need to embrace external notions that contemplate solutions outside established governance modes and codes. Mixed messages don’t help.
Six Geopolitical zones need to coalesce in addressing economic impact of Covid-19, which could have been abated, had federal palliative funds been properly and expeditiously disbursed by zones and states to all and sundry. Since such funds would go essentially to food, medicine and prophylactics, the economy will continue to bubble. This approach would also ameliorate hunger-driven rise in banditry, rascality and civil disobedience. -OHO
