Twice. Must be...
It’s election time in New Zealand. And you know… Governments love infrastructure pipelines. Pipelines create jobs. Especially for consultants preparing slides about the pipeline. I won’t talk about NZ… today… or maybe I do later… Let’s talk about Nigeria. Yes… Nigeria has been building PPP pipelines for years. On steroids. And you know what happens if you abuse… Well… In 2020, its infrastructure commission reported adding 158 projects. Yes… projects… not speed tickets. This year, the...
Every crossing of a street, I tell my four-year-old son: “Check both sides before crossing.” He normally looks at it for two seconds and says: “Done.” This is not quality assurance. It is confidence.
