The founder, Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Afe
Babalola SAN, has advised the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to
seek debt forgiveness for the country when he assumes office.
Babalola said he expects the incoming president to learn
from former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who spent two-three years of his
administration begging for debt forgiveness for the nation.
He made the remarks at the weekend while answering questions
from journalists after a lecture titled: “Smart Infrastructure: Catalyst for
Sustainable Development held at the Alfa Belgore Hall of the university by Prof
Bamidele Adebisi of the University of Manchester.
The educationist, who described Nigeria as the worst debtor
today, said “we owe trillions of dollars and we are still borrowing more even
as the present administration has few days to go.”
He added, “We learnt that the in-coming president has gone
to look for those who will invest here. Our naira is worthless, seek for debt
forgiveness.
Prof. Adebisi, whose lecture was on smart infrastructure,
said technology has come to stay.
He said, “We can use technology as a tool for societal
development.”
