“Let us fix the energy crisis, for without power, our efforts to industrialize would continue to be a pipe dream. How ludicrous is it when I hear people talk about transitioning from a consumer nation to a producer nation when we cannot generate enough electricity to power our homes after years of massive investment in that sector without any demonstrable results”. – Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara, CFR on Power sector Reforms.
“Let no one beguile us, for without adequate and reliable power supply, our dream of a robust MSME ecosystem would remain only that, a dream!

Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara, CFR on President Tinubu’s courageous leadership style.
“I have said before and let me say it again that I support the President’s tax reforms not because they are perfect but because it is the right thing to do.

Leaders who are dedicated to reforms and progress don’t make such poor judgment calls, at all”. – Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara to those advocating for the withdrawal of President Tinubu’s Tax Reforms.

“Even laws are subject to amendment when we discover there are mischiefs embedded in them that must be cured, much less proposals that have not been passed into law”. – Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara to those advocating for the withdrawal of president Tax Reforms.
