Vision 20 2020 & the Menace of Vandalism

Stephen B. Oladipo PhD

Description

Economic conditions have vital roles to play in people's experience and perceptions of a place while socioeconomic status equally affects almost all aspects of human life, including security of lives and property. The book:”Vision 20: 2020 and the menace of vandalism” is a policy guide and direction signaling material. It pictures this global projection which the late President Umar Musa Yar'adua highlighted in his agenda as a dream towards attaining the nation's golden age. The book was equally written to propel the Nigerian government as well as her economic handlers to work towards the nation’s emergence as one of the 20 most economically viable nations of the World. Clearly, the book centers around the dream of development for the Nigerian economy. It analyzes the variables for and, the debacles against the attainment of the stated economic vision. More precisely, the book was written to re-echo the prophesy of economic prosperity for Nigeria as predicted by the World Bank when the country showed signs of possibilities around mid 2000s. The administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd) had successfully paid off one of the economic ravaging loans to Paris Club, the creditor. This accomplishment repositioned Nigeria for greatness with a vision to rank among the top 20 economies around the world in 2020. This tall expectation informed the need for holistic review of the nation’s internal potentials and the threats of saboteur which range from growing insecurity to wanton vandalism of infrastructures, including crude-oil pipelines. Crude-oil accounts for approximately 65% of the nation’s revenue. This reality directly ties the fate of the envisioned economic attainment to the effective protection of this sector. Fulfillment of responsibility becomes imperative for Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps in conquering the war of vandalism to set Nigeria on the path of fulfilling global economic prediction. The book advanced other measures to attaining economic stability in Nigeria. Well structured policies, strong political will and financial discipline were among other suggested measures.

DEDICATION
Now is better off than then. He fulfils all my aspirations of the years past. He gives me focus and sustains my confidence despite perennial challenges. Who else do I have to praise but you: Jehoval Jireh; my sustenance. Thanking you for making my life a show of glory. It is yet another escapade, and your unfailing support never ceases. You were there as always; day by day bringing me stre ngth.

ACKNOWLEDGEMNT
T o some, you are the eyes that saw them through the terrible hours of the night. To others, you are the courage behind their profound successes and stabilities in life. And to me, what could be more to such enabling opportunity that allows the room for self-realization and individual-gifting exploit. For your life as a father, a prophet, an administrator, a reformer, a goal getter, and a human resource developer: Dr. Ade Abolurin is altogether a phenomenon. Your great-deeds and records of accomplishments shall continue to be referenced in years of the future- time!
Acknowledgement is a reference; my mother, my sister; excitement beckons usually at the thought of home, but my heart bleeds when I remember circumstance. When I remember untimelinesses and circumstances, when I remember the past, when I remember struggles; therefore, when I comment, I remember home! The reality of dissipation, the eluding togetherness and the pains of untold ignorance! How I wish, now reflect the dreams, the alluring dreams of height and settlement. I remember you as always, my home, my source, my background, my inception and my progres sion!
Mrs. Nathaniel Yemisi, you are the root to Mojirola Olubunmi Adeoye; the rare gel, shielded for so many years, only to be discovered at a time season requires one like her. It’s been fun and developmental, getting to know and relate with your family. Relay my message to Iya-Kwara, the friendliness has been tremen dous!
Where are you in the future of today: my sister from another mother; my angel in human apparel, my saving grace on the road to the future I now bask-in; where are you: Bilkisu Liman? You fought a battle that was of no concern to your destiny. Your efforts fast-track my path onto the highway of reckoning. My history of accomplishment will be inconclusive without your input. I remember you my idol.
Commandant Maigari P., your effort was noted towards possible encouragement. Commandant Audi A. A. (now Commandant General) did his part; while Mrs. Amakiri Helen, the then O/C servicom was all there. In fact, in no little ways have you acted your part in encouragement when occasions demanded your contributions. I also wish to acknowledge you my dear friends and colleagues, NSCDC nation over. With special reference to Oseyemi, Bisola, John—The Obama solicitor (Legal), Okoro Kingsley, Vincent Okotie, Ajala John and other members of Training Admin (NHQ). Of reckoning also are the following colleaques: Nneka Nwodo, Ifeoma Obiekwe, Pastor Taiwo Abiodun, Simon O. Anamalechi (My season’s best), Magdalene board (The FCT connection). To you’all, memory may not have lost your touch contrary to insinua tion.
This list shall not continue without you: Madam Bolanle Adeniji-Adele Nee Willoughby and Mr. Akerele Pension Office (NHQ).
Forgetting you my uncle, my confidant and my banker of patness would have been a major insult on the face of timeliness. Mr. Amakiri U.B. (The Principal Accountant—FCT Command), you were there in those seasons when necessity demanded one like you. Of course, the reality of today attested that you never failed to extend a hand in succor. Thanking you for being there when it counted most.
Pastor Israel Abam and his amiable wife; I feel your support. You gave your part to exhibit uncommon willingness. Your concern for the younger generation is not in theory. For being accessible, for your fatherliness; I feel proud associating with your mini stry.

FOREWORD
V ision drives progress. It is imperative as well to understand that progress and attainments are anchored only by the brain behind the drive. Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) has thrived from infancy to maturity in less than two (2) decades of its establishment through parliamentary empowerment. This was the ceremonious passing of its bills into Acts by the Nigerian
