Jega made them known in a speech he delivered at the 10th Annual Forum of Nigerian National Order of Merit (NNOM) Laureates and Investiture of Laureates held recently in Abuja.

Jega’s suggestions

In his speech titled “Governance Reforms and Human Security in Nigeria”, Jega gave immediate, medium and log term solutions on how to restructure the country. In the short term, advocated for reforms in four areas of governance:  the structure, the institutions, the agents/actors and the attitudes/behaviours.

Between now and 2019, he recommended a  devolution of power and resources from the Federal Government to the states and local governments.  In the medium term from 2019-2024 an increase in the derivation allocation and introduction of resource control.
