Opeyemi agbaje biography of mahatma

I start this review of the Nigerian economy and policy at this critical time by highlighting the difference between strategy and tactics. Strategy encompasses a long-term, comprehensive, “strategic” aspiration or direction for the firm or nation and decisions and actions directed thereat, while tactics are short-term, isolated actions taken as components of the “strategy”. 

While strategy, right strategy is critical, tactics matter, especially in relation to implementation-a viable strategy may be enhanced or subverted by poor tactics!

My hypothesis is that while the evident strategic aspiration of current policy towards a market-driven economic policy is desirable or even compelling, some tactical implementation approaches may be questionable or at least debatable.

The first major policy announcement under President Bola Tinubu happened right on inauguration day, and by the president himself-the fuel subsidy is gone!
