Honestly, when I saw that Tinubu appoints Yakubu Dogara as the boss of the new National Credit Guarantee Company Limited (NCGC), I was just as shocked as most people. I know Dogara is a big political name in Nigeria, especially from when he was Speaker, so it feels like Tinubu is picking people based a lot on politics. If you ask me, it might be because Tinubu wants to make sure he has support from different parts of the country or strong allies leading up to the next election.
But when it comes to jobs and credit, this move could actually help if they run NCGC well. The whole point of NCGC is to help small businesses, manufacturers, and people who struggle to get bank loans. If this works, it could mean more jobs and better education for people who want to start their own businesses. I'm kinda worried though, because so many government appointments seem like paybacks instead of picking who’s best for the job. I just hope Dogara and his team actually help regular people and not just politicians' friends. Sometimes these big announcements sound great and then nothing much happens, but if NCGC lives up to the hype, it could really open doors for a lot of young Nigerians who need that first push.
