The chairman is that sort of guy. Factor in rumours of easy money from an ex governor of an oil producing state, and interests of the landlord at Aso Rock when Arik surfaced (which gave them virtually all the approvals they wanted), and you may see why Arik seems to have appetite for dumb management practices. And the federal government stepping in? Intriguing, given the ethno-politics raging in Nigeria just now. Not that it wouldn't make good economic and social sense, though
