BREAKING NEWS. It was revealed that KT has eleven billion naira in its coffers. The governor made the revelation in a newspaper report. Well this is some good news seeing that not many governors trust revealing such info to the public. For one it could make mouths to water in torrents and before you know it, important people could start putting pressure for their share. I therefore doff my hat for Shema for making the announcement.
But the revelation begs the question as to what to spend the money on? Eleven billion is a whole lot of big money and it may not be off the mark if someone asks for a referendum in the state to determine what to do with it. I would support such a move even though I know it would never come to fruition.
What we the citizens of the state are left with is not more than mere discussion among ourselves on how best to spend the money. I list below my contribution to this discussion after a careful analysis of the problems facing the state:
1. education sector should have 30 percent of the money allocated to it.
2. health sector should have 20 percent allocated to it.
3. industrial sector should have 20percent allocated to it.
4. another 20 percent should be shared among the other sectors.
5. The remaining 10 percent should be set aside for emergency.
Perhaps someone should start a YouTube chat where we tell the governor how best to spend the money.

Well, it is certainly good news that at least! one state has some money in its coffers after the thieving spree of the last 8 years. I am yet optimistic about Nigeria. Have a great weekend.
