But why did we fail'The answer is that coming up with a plan is not hard but sticking to the plan until it is fully implemented, is. What is there in a plan if it is not fully implemented' Why do we love to waste resources to plan but hate to implement the plans' We must muster the discipline to overcome this shortcoming if we must sustain the coming economic rebound, he said.Dogara also revealed that very soon the National Assembly will pass into law the Federal Competition Commission Bill which he said would among other things, promoteefficient allocation of resources.
