Why Dr. Tope Fasua Should Be On Tinubu’s Team -By Mayowa Lala

It will be of utmost delight to see Dr Tope Fasua on Asiwaju team. He is one of the most prepared, articulate and brilliant men to galvanize the youthful energies in this country to productivity and prosperity.

With a solid banking career background in the private sector, consulting and training to infuse service excellence into the public sector, as well as running businesses within and outside Nigeria, Fasua is a prolific writer and pragmatic thinker well versed in economics, econometrics, public administration and policy analysis.

Looking through the robust ideas in his manifesto when he ran for president in 2019, I hope that the man can be put to work in the ministry of budgeting and planning or Finance.

Following and Learning from him for nearly 6 years, we have seen his diligence and depth in quality scientific thoughts and out-of-the-box ideas that can move this country forward.

From 2017 to 2019, I can vividly remember how he infused political consciousness and sense of leadership and responsibility into many youths in the spirit of patriotism and service to our Fatherland.

About 2000 youths were inspired through his exemplary leadership to pursue various political positions at the state, local government and ward level. This was done with the little resources that the party had at that time.

Anyone who cares to know more should dig through his 2000+ columns and interviews which had been featured consistently on about 6 major newspapers and media outlets in this country. Very few columnists can touch the vast amount of ideas that he has contributed to the intellectual discourse of government policies and programs in this country.

This is a time to make use of our best talents and Dr Fasua is a rare gem.
