On Shamsuddeen Usman

They say little minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, while great minds discuss issues. Well today we’re going to display little mind as we’re going to discuss Dr. Shamsuddeen Usman. Dr. Usman has operated at the highest levels of government since 1989, some 23 solid years. He has presided over the then NIDB (now BOI), NEXIM, BPE, CBN, NPC. If you look at Wikipedia, the greatest achievement attributed to Dr. Usman is that he is the only man that ever declared his assets before joining government.  Good achievement in a country ‘’noted for its high levels of corruption’’ according to Wikipedia. The issue is, what is Dr. Usman still doing in government? What has Dr. Usman really been planning over these years? With everything crumbling around us: no motorable roads, no electricity, no water, no functioning textile industry, motor assembly, refineries, universities, and hospitals, dilapidated airports, you name it, would it not have been more honourable for him to step aside and say, I came, I saw, I could not conquer? Really, Dr. Usman should throw in the towel. It’s the only honourable thing to do. What's your take?
