Update on Susa Africa

The matter has been resolved amicably. I decided to put forward my objection publicly as I write for a number of media and one, in particular, owns a right to my essays.

Long story short, matters have been resolved and I wholeheartedly support SUSA Africa using my materials.

Thank you all.

In “Fragility of Democracy in Nigeria: A Critical Examination of the Ongoing Protests and Their Potential Consequences,” Bukola Oyeniyi writes:

“The achievements of the Tinubu administration can be compared to the political and economic reforms implemented by Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet Union. Gorbachev's policies of Perestroika (restructuring) and Glasnost (openness) aimed to revitalize the Soviet economy and make the government more transparent and accountable. While well-intentioned, these reforms inadvertently accelerated the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Tinubu’s economic reforms, such as ending the fuel subsidy, unifying the exchange rate, ending the importation of petroleum products, and introducing student loans, bear similarities to Gorbachev’s attempts to overhaul the Soviet system. Ending the fuel subsidy, for instance, has led to immediate increases in fuel prices, causing widespread economic discomfort for Nigerians.

This move, aimed at freeing up government resources for development projects, parallels Gorbachev’s reduction of state controls over the economy, which initially led to shortages and inflation.”
