These days, projects do not need to be just SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely). Another S has been added to make it SMARTS because sustainability must be factored in. What the FG has done with creation of local government areas mean they do not factor in sustainability at all. Well, that doesnt quite upset me as much as the fact many of those who run these LGs seem absolutely clueless! With all the vast potentials in Ogoriland alone, Im still wondering why an educated Chairman with educated PAs all around cant think of how to generate revenue but wait for federal allocations then whine and cry at the end that its not enough. What happens the day the FG decides to scrap off LGs that cant self sustain? We go back to being under Okene LGA? I dont understand ooo. You cant pay salaries and you blame it on inadequate funds. Wheres the FG getting its funds from? What stops Ogori/Magongo LGA from harnessing its very rich agricultural potentials? Many of the villages around us are in Akoko-Edo and their major preoccupation is making garri (cassava flakes), we have a ready market for cassava. And with our oga at the tops cassava evangelism to bakeries, we can begin to export cassava to many other neighboring towns. How about tourism? Ogori is a fantastic relaxation spot to hide away from stress of city life. If my cousin, the Chairman cannot lead aright, he should RESIGN! Dont ask me if I can do better, I swear I can. What else, also dont tell me about him not causing the problems, for it is to correct those ills that he presented himself for election and was voted in. Abeg, I no fit shout!
