Indeed Yar Adua’s dexterity and work stamina stemming from his health condition, since assuming office, leaves much to be desired, just as some decisions, like skipping United Nations (UN) general assembly two years in a row, remain quite a mystery to me. Matters that require urgent national attention namely; electoral reform and energy, power/infrastructure deregulation languish o URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/peterside/102409.html Size - 17KB - 24 Oct 2009

Whatever advised the skipping of United Nations General assembly in New York City last week by President Yar'Adua (for the second time in a row) must have been ill-conceived and myopic. For over 60 years now, United Nations general assembly has evolved as that high octane annual talk-fest and networking arena for heads of state. Where they meet, greet and rub minds even for brief m URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/peterside/092709.html Size - 18KB - 27 Sep 2009

This typifies five years ago in June 2004, when Charles Soludo upon assuming office as Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor summoned bank chiefs and broke the news of URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/peterside/081909.html Size - 17KB - 19 Aug 2009

In absolute terms, not that you won’t notice pockets of improvement in Nigeria, but based on published data and qualitative parameters, the country has actually retrogressed over the period in question [over four decades]. We are all witness to statistical evidence suggesting that if you lived in the 1960s in Nigeria, you probably had higher quality of life and superior social amen URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/peterside/081609.html Size - 19KB - 16 Aug 2009

Indeed whichever direction Lagos heads is where Nigeria might go. Therefore, assuming more states and indeed the federal government will borrow a cue and do little bit, one step at a time like; fixing power shortages, rebuilding broken infrastructure, aligning the role and aspirations of public and private sectors and setting the right policy framework for investment-flow and emplo URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/peterside/051609.html Size - 16KB - 16 May 2009

There is no denying the fact that current financial crisis will ultimately reshape the global economy in ways we haven’t seen before. So, not withstanding how unorthodox some of our ideas might seem, my goal is to set the stage for deep introspection and policy discourse. It behooves President Barack Obama to take “bigger-picture” view of emerging world order and understand things URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/peterside/021209.html Size - 27KB - 11 Feb 2009

The biggest concern of course is – whether social security benefits will be there when you and me and are ready to retire. Therefore, the question is - what genuine strides will Obama make to bring these yearnings to the front-burner and make it “mainstream affairs” rather than “your problem” (if you are not part of the privileged few).
