Why 240 million Nigerians are calling it another slogan and lies
Because this pattern is familiar for decades
Big fund announced
No clear financing plan
No transparency on contributions
No timeline for disbursement
No measurable outcomes
Nigeria has had similar initiatives before — national research fund, innovation hubs, technology parks — many of which were underfunded or abandoned money stolen and never accounted for
So, 240 million Nigerians skepticism isn’t cynicism; it’s pattern recognition for decades
