 The necessity of transparency and timeliness in leadership. A stitch in time saves nine. This famous phrase couldn't have said it any better. Leadership is in all its entirety entails all spheres of discipline, servitude and timeliness. Is it true that the year before a election, the government seems to work effectively? It is ridiculous to waste limited time on activities that aren't central to the core of an administration. This in every way defeats the purpose of the opportunity to be saluted with such responsibility and comes off as poor decision making and mismanagement. This pattern of the end minute execution is visible in poor administration and it comes along with the baggage of weak politikin and bad governance. The time frame given to every administrative office is given based on feasibility, planning and execution. Every time frame in an administrative tunnel was structured to enable proper execution of the vision of the office and failure to follow these structures will lead to an irreversible lapse. Using a month to execute a project that should have taken years to plan properly and execute not only destroy the mission and outputs of the project but also destroys the reputation of the parties involved. To reduce the repetition of this ugly pattern, the following factors must be considered. Transparency in leadership, workable policies, vision that are scalable, timeliness in planning effective monitoring and evaluation. When all these factors mentioned are being considered by those at the hem of a phase there will be a decline in project execution lapses and fraud. Development and continuity in transparent and workable administration would be assured. Let's ponder on these words. The speed of decision making is the essence of good governance. Paijit Kuya is a politician and cabinet minister in the government of India. So Tolu, what do you think about this? I think it is as usual. Politicians, okay. For me I think you have hit the nail right on the head. There is just something magical about the year before the election year. I am sure you have noticed it. There is just something absolutely magical about it. To stop that is not able to be done in 2-3 years. The year before the election there is just some spirit of efficiency and excellence. Lost jumps on our people. Things got to start to get done. Roads start to get done. Hospitals get built. Schools get renovated. Because like Tufei said, it is time to tell us another lie. But I think it is a serious problem of orientation. I see people all the time. Even leaders abroad in America, in the UK, people that have done democracy for hundreds of years and are trained to be leaders, to lead governance. They take courses in governance and leadership and strategy and decision making. Even these guys, many times they falter and make mistakes. In some cases they even fail woefully. Now that someone has been prepared to hold these offices. Now imagine someone that has no clue, no training, no orientation, no preparation except for speeches. In many cases, senseless speeches have been written by a more clueless person. To basically recite. So how would that person fail? This is not rocket science. To fail to plan is to plan to fail. That is exactly the problem we are having with leadership. Transparency is not even something we should start to talk about. Because we need a whole show to talk about transparency in leadership. You know. The time limit is just a magical thing that happens when it is time for them to get our votes again. I will wrap up with this. Someone said that, have you ever thought about how come their villages, their settlements in Nigeria have never seen power before. They don't have power. They don't have water. They don't have basic essentials of life. But when it's time for election, a polling booth appears in that location. A polling booth appears. But these are guys that have not seen power for years. But you can get a polling booth there when it's time to vote. And then what happens? Some are infrastructure. You guys have a visit that impoverished. So 2009 after 2009 guarantees with their votes for another four years. I'll just wrap up. Thank you very much Tolu. The last time I remember last week, while I was not last two weeks ago, I said something about KAPI-DM, living in the moment, fixing the current problem. You know, there was an instance, something that happened during the lockdown, the saga around lockdown era, that the government actually give items out, relief item. And some of these things were hooded. And then some politicians had the effrontery to repackage this item using their own label. So they are using government property to campaign. Why? Because they are always thinking about the next election. You are not thinking about what are we going to do now to live, unless the next election takes you of yourself. So I know the strategy is what you want to say something about. Mr. Khair, you have enough to say. I don't know if I have so much to say. I mean, when you listed the things that should be done, I was just asking myself, okay, do you think they don't know these are the things that should be done to be effective? I mean, not rocket. But you see, there's a country, okay, Ghana, when it's getting close to election, that is when the people wake up and make demands. That's when the nurses who go on strike and they said that the agreement they had four years ago or three years ago has to be met. That's when doctors remember that this is happening. That's when all these institutions will start coming up. That's when you see communities tell politicians or the government that you promised to do this road. You didn't do it, it's four years and you are going for another campaign. We are not going to vote for you. Now you see, if you don't make demands, make hate while the sun shines. The best time to strike is when the metal is hot. That's better to strike and get the shape you want from that metal. And that is what we are not doing. I always say that politicians, politicians all over the world will always attempt to cut corners, even in America. If you listen to the news this year, last year you have seen people that almost cut corners, did one or two things and they were caught and blah blah blah. But you see, in our own case is that we don't have a system that checks them, then the people themselves are just used to oh don't mind them, they are foolish politicians and they continue. So we need to look at all these things. I want you to address it from a behavioural point of view because you know you are a behavioural coach. So why is this, it's like a recurring decimal. The year before election, things seems to work very well. They now recently remember that students need this, school needs this, this one needs that but why don't you face this thing, let it be that you solve this problem and the next administration should move on from there. You know I'm not a politician and you know You can't speak for that. I've never got into the seat of power so as much as I have good will I've got some good value system but I don't know how I'm going to act under that pressure. You know often times we don't know what we're going to do and all of that. So for me I think it's just rinse and repeat. So and if the trigger is not fixed it's going to continue being a rinse and repeat strategy. Any strategy that works, I mean business sense why don't you change it. That's it. It's been working and we don't need to change it and that's what I think. For us we Nigerians it's important for us to focus on making the system works. When we make it work then we shouldn't bother ourselves about what happens subsequently because you take care of yourself. Although a coyote is nest after the break.
