Nigeria’s Public Assets Belong to Citizens, Not Politicians

Roads, bridges, public schools, hospitals, airports, government buildings, vehicles and public land are funded with public money. They are managed by government officials, but they are not their personal property. Nigeria’s oil, gas and solid minerals are also public resources. Their proceeds are meant to support services and development that benefit citizens. When public assets are abandoned, misused or poorly maintained, Nigerians ultimately bear the cost through higher transport expenses, weaker healthcare, poor education and reduced economic activity. Citizens should look beyond elections and demand transparency in how public assets are used, maintained and protected. These resources belong to Nigerians and should remain available for public service.
