I honestly don’t think many Nigerians understand what Tinubu is trying to do.

If you look beyond politics, you’ll see that a lot of the reforms are about putting the right structures in place for Nigeria’s future.
from local government autonomy, to the approval of additional Nigerian Defence academy institutions in places like Osogbo and Ebonyi, to the push for state police, and now the conversation around strengthening the geopolitical zones. these are all structural changes.
many people may not realize it, but this is very much in line with the philosophy of Obafemi Awolowo.
Although the six geopolitical zones we have today were created after his time, they reflect the kind of regional system he always believed in.
Awolowo consistently argued for true federalism, strong regions, and healthy competition, where every part of Nigeria develops its own strengths instead of waiting for Abuja.
if we get this right, every state will have to become more productive, develop its own resources, attract investment, create jobs, and be more accountable to its people.
That’s how serious nations are built not by sharing wealth alone, but by creating it.
whether you support or like tinubu or not, it’s worth paying attention to the institutions and structures being put in place.
Governments come and go, but strong institutions can shape a country’s future for generations.
time will tell how successful these reforms become, but I believe this conversation is bigger than politics.
