For every entity and body corporate, Restructuring is a necessary continuous exercise required to take stock of available resources and determine their optimal deployment, for comparative advantage in the larger environment. Knowledge, Information and Data is key to the restructuring process. This matrix empowers the people who execute and those who benefit from the restructuring process. Restructuring is the surest and most expedient way to achieve an ideal and efficient society in the ever changing world.
Through the years TABAC has developed the culture of an incubator and facilitator of dialogue on novel ideas and methodologies for the restructuring process. Our Socio-Economic Analysis dataBase (SEABASE) has served us well as a module and tool for simulating restructuring scenarios. We have also published and presented papers at various fora covering a wide range of topics within the restructuring sphere. We are very adept at organizing discourses, workshops and conferences to drill down on development related policy issues.
TABAC articulated Restructuring proposals in the perestroika era. We made inputs into the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) that gained currency in Nigeria in the eighties. Specifically, we presented proposals to leverage the nation’s rural resources to gain comparative advantage. This exercise would still be fashionable today as States and local government units in the Nigerian federation need and seek to improve their respective Internally Generated Revenues.
Today’s global economy has shifted paradigms and places a different kind of burden on Nigeria and Africa. The over dependence and alleged mismanagement of the crude oil resource has taken its toll and finally come to an end. It’s time to restructure our economy to align with our resource endowments and the current geo-politics. Capacity building, of the massive youth population of Nigeria and Africa at large, must be pursued urgently to redress social anomalies that could prove explosive, if not addressed. Agribusiness must take centre stage. And there needs to be more intra-Africa trade activities to strengthen the continental economy and provide it with some measure of independence. Indeed Africa must now arise from slumber, to fulfill its destiny to nourish the world. TABAC’s 40-year footprint as a restructuring agent would serve the relevant multilateral agencies, national and sub national governments very well. We also offer Social Engineering, Publicist and Copywriting services.
