Why Dr. Bala Maijama’a Wunti Believes in Continuity

Image
  Dr. Bala Maijama’a Wunti’s perspective can be understood from his long-standing emphasis on continuity, reform, accountability and sustainable development. His professional career in Nigeria’s energy sector has focused on building institutions, improving efficiency and creating long-term value. In that context, supporting continuity under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu can be seen as a belief that major reforms should be given the time and stability needed to deliver lasting results. For Wunti, the conversation should go beyond politics. It should be about economic transformation, energy security, investment, job creation and building a stronger Nigeria for the next generation. Continuity should mean preserving what works, correcting what needs improvement, and keeping Nigeria moving forward.

Why Dr. Bala Maijama’a Wunti Emphasises the Importance of Giving President Tinubu More Time

Image
  Dr. Bala Maijama’a Wunti’s position can be understood through a simple principle: national transformation requires consistency, continuity and time to deliver lasting results. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has undertaken major economic reforms, including changes to the foreign-exchange system, fiscal and tax reforms, energy-sector reforms, infrastructure investment and measures aimed at attracting new investment. The Presidency says these reforms are now laying the foundation for stronger economic growth and broader prosperity. For a professional with extensive experience in Nigeria’s energy sector, the argument for continuity can therefore be framed around stability, investment confidence, energy security, job creation and long-term economic development. The message is not simply about politics. It is about asking Nigerians to look at the direction of the country, the reforms already initiated, the challenges that remain, and whether continuity can help consolidat...

JIGAWA 2027: TIME FOR A NEW CHAPTER OF LEADERSHIP

TIAMIN RICE: The Quiet Revolution Changing Nigeria’s Rice Story

Image
  Something significant is taking shape in Nigeria’s agricultural landscape, and its name is TIAMIN RICE. At a time when food security, local production and agricultural value addition have become central to Nigeria’s economic conversation, TIAMIN RICE is positioning itself around a simple but powerful idea: Nigeria should not only grow rice — Nigeria should build a stronger rice industry.

It is about creating a connected value chain where farmers have access to stronger markets, production is supported by modern systems, processing adds greater value, and consumers receive quality Nigerian rice. TIAMIN RICE reflects the growing possibility of combining agriculture, technology, processing, logistics and enterprise management to create a more efficient agricultural ecosystem.
