Again, look at the vehicles the police and the military are using for their operations in the north-east. Consider their maintenance and cost of fuelling.
We are extremely wasteful. Really, the Nigerian elite have to sit up because we are throwing our resources down the drain.
Let me tell you. I went to the United Kingdom for training as a motor transport officer in 1965.
What I discovered in the British army, all the vehicles are properly registered, from motorcycle to aircraft, each one has a book, and that book is the recommendation by the manufacturer of how to maintain it, and successive commanders, from bottom to top, either monthly, quarterly or yearly have to sign that book certifying that those machineries are being maintained according to the specifications provided by the manufacturers.
If you give it to the Nigeria police or army now for their Toyota vehicle which is supposed to last 10 years, some of them don’t last 18 months.
We are extremely wasteful at the expense of our country. For you to bring the culture of sustained development, the elite must wake up because if the country collapses, they are the first victims.
They are the ones with air-conditioned rooms, generators and can afford to go abroad to get treatment.
If the country collapses, I’ll like to see where they will go. The elite need restructuring
