Very insightful interview and I must appreciate the well of Knowledge brought to
fore by the Ernst & Young Tax Partner. I concur on the points discussed
however a serious question in contention is

1. If the people can trust the government to follow due process in the sales of
this assets to ensure it falls into the hands of people who are not just
financially and technically capable of managing this assets but also have the
interest of Nigerians at heart.

2. What happens after this assets are sold, is it a “free fall for the
buyers of this assets, or are there measures in place to ensure they provide
the services this assets where created for at a reasonably but profitable
price.

Past experience of public assets sold by the government has left lots of
Nigerians in doubt. A good example will be Nigerian Airways, NITEL, NICON, just
to mention a few. Sales of Asset is not what Nigerians are against, it’s the
people, the process of this sales and what happens after the sales. History has
thought us well. What do you think?
