The long game: What will Tinubu leave behind (2)?, By Adeola Akinremi
I thought about that question again while reading an extraordinary interview Tinubu gave to Princeton University in 2009, two years after leaving the Lagos State Government House.
He called his philosophy “thinking for change,” and that phrase deserves attention because before the roads, the taxes, the transportation reforms, the digitisation, the restructuring of government and the other things that became associated with the transformation of Lagos, there was a mental exercise: first understand the problem, then break it down, then build a team, then reform the system, and finally make the reform survive you.
Princeton’s account of the Lagos reform similarly identifies revenue generation, public service delivery, infrastructure, transit and overcoming corruption as central elements of the transformation.
