Chairman  of Blue Diamond Logistics and Chief Executive Officer of Shanghai Engineering Works Limited, Mr Festus Mbisiogu, in this interview, speaks on how to improve the productive sector of the economy, how economic downturn is affecting production and how he successfully built his business empire in the last three decades. Mbisiogu, who sees steady power as the solution to most of the country’s current economic challenges,  wants Nigeria to take a cue from China’s development model.

Prince Adewole Ebenezer Adebayo, a lawyer and businessman, was the flag bearer of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the 2023 presidential election. In this interview, Adebayo says President Bola Tinubu needs to own up to the failure of his policies even as he admonishes the electorate to look well before they leap in future elections.

The establishment of African Aviation and Aerospace University, Abuja was captured in the nation’s Aviation Roadmap with a view to re-setting the narrative in the sector in Nigeria.

“Many of us lost our lives in the process of coming to Abuja to settle pension issues. We usually arrive very early, around 4 a.m. or 5 a.m.”

As far as I know President Tinubu, he means well for the country. When Tinubu came on board in 1999 as governor of Lagos, on the back of Brigadier General Buba Marwa’s successes, people were not patient because Marwa created a large shoe.

But when he hit the road running, he outperformed whatever Marwa had done.
