Empowerment : The Bigger Role of State Actors.


 The Public and Private Partnership trend adopted by state actors at both the State and Federal levels have sadly attracted investment in non-productive sectors: dubious estate developers, land grabbers, betting companies, hotels, petrol stations, and religious groupings with government-friendly posture and the productive sector: plastic soft drinks, sachet alcoholic stimulants, and enhancers.

The policy is yet to attract internal and external investment to the productive sector,-the creation of employment and influencing economic activities upwardly.Transfer Money with Wise
In a number of states the private sector, embarrassingly weak, while in others it is dominated by the controllers of the exploitative tendencies.
Most of these states have already achieved the status of dumping ground for HIV/AIDS drugs including the ones that have been outlawed by the World Health Organization. The number of casualties remains unreported. 


Indeed, prostitution, sodomy, and homosexuality among other sexual perversions are now industries in major cities. Pick-pocketing is also an industry.
PPP is now synonymous with the total abandonment of the economic welfare of the people as a legitimate function of state actors.
Petty traders who have opened shops in available spaces including residential areas have assumed the status of investors.
Indeed, politics to the people is group action, but when an individual starts to play a bigger role in a political party, then all is not well.
Interestingly, the empowerment of friends of state actors, cronies, proxies, and well-wishers, has dashed the hopes of the people to get a fair opportunity to participate in various empowerment schemes.
