Olisa Agbakoba writes President Buhari on regional autonomy and devolution of powers It is my honour and privilege to present to you, for consideration a proposal on regional autonomy and devolution of powers. Common fundamentals are policy goals in the political, economic, cultural, religious and social affairs of a nation that often must be similar to achieve political cohesion. These common ideals are, usually taken for granted, but remain central to effective governance and development of nations. The notion of missing fundamentals is at opposite poles and refer to an absence of common political objectives on vital national policy. Kjell Magne Bondevik, once Norwegian Prime Minister, attributed Norway’s success to its political homogeneity. That is Norwegians have common national identity that drives their political and economic stability. China, India, Taiwan and Singapore also have common fundamentals.
