President Tinubu: Building Nigeria brick by brick, by Fredrick Nwabufo
In governance, opportunity cost is more complex as an empirical construct. Foregone alternatives may not necessarily be foregone.

If Nigeria have had Tinubu decades back, by Kola Amzat
There is no iota of doubt that Nigeria is a complex country. Indeed, the most populous black nation on earth remain one of the incongruous nation across the globe.
