America’s Accountability Problem
Capitol attack, and the Trump years are any indication, the American lexicon has essentially dispensed with the term “accountability.”
This should come as no surprise. After all, there’s nothing particularly new about this. In the Bush years, those who created a system of indefinite offshore detention at
Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, those who implemented a CIA global
torture program and the National Security Agency’s
warrantless surveillance policy, not to mention those who purposely took us to
war based on lies about
nonexistent Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, were neither dismissed, sanctioned, nor punished in any way for obvious violations of the law. Nor has Congress passed significant legislation of any kind to ensure that all-encompassing abuses like these will not happen again.

A former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank f Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, has stated that Nigeria needs a comprehensive approach and clearly defined philosophical foundation for it to achieve economic diversification.
Moghalu said this recently, when he delivered a keynote address titled: “Economic Diversification and the Wealth of Nations: Lessons and the Path Forward for Nigeria,” at the 2021 Annual Conference of the Nigerian Economics Students Association (NESA) of the University of Port Harcourt.
He said: “Achieving economic diversification in Nigeria will require a comprehensive and joined up approach to economic policy, rather than the silo approach we have seen for many years in which specific aspects of economic policy appear to be in conflict with stated policy objectives of diversification.

He said the constitution hinders a regional approach to economic diversification and economic management.
Moghalu said this while delivering a paper titled ‘Economic Diversification and the Wealth of Nations: Lessons and the Path Forward for Nigeria’ at a conference of the Nigerian Economic Students Association (NESA) in Port Harcourt on Thursday.
According to Moghalu, Nigeria witnessed its best broad-based economic growth in the first republic when resources were under regional control.

He suggested that Nigeria’s economic policymakers should help the government develop targeted export policies and incentives that would drive diversification.
“Achieving economic diversification in Nigeria would require a comprehensive and joined up approach to economic policy, rather than the silo approach we have seen for many years,” he said.
