Project Management and Politics: Embarking on a Dangerous Critical Path
Nigerian politicians are caught in an evil cycle, and the consequences are dire. The purpose of government should be to protect its people, but what is happening in a country where resources are so abundant, yet so wasted?
As a succession of elected leaders prioritize policies, projects, and programs solely on the basis of their own personal gain, they concurrently abandon what their predecessors began, frustrating potential and prosperity that should be widespread among Nigeria’s people.
In this incisive look at years of corruption and project mismanagement, Dr. Darlington Akaiso clearly outlines the problems inherent in this vicious cycle. He takes us through a myriad of examples, then provides a glimmer of hope for a solutions-based response for a better Nigeria to come.
