This is a transcript of a discussion on the ethos and practices of power and governance in Nigeria with Kayode Fayemi, Executive Governor of Ekiti State. According to Fayemi, an understanding of the relationship between evolving economic and political contexts of reform is needed. In addition, he argues for a move away from a focus on judgments pegged on macro-reforms that are often measured by large, dramatic shifts. Rather than focus on short term gains, it is important to understand social change in Africa in a longer term perspective rather than through the typical binaries of success and failure.
