Femi Adesina, former Special Adviser to late former President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, has said poor leadership and corruption are holding Nigeria back.
Adesina stated this on Thursday at an annual public lecture
organised by the Foursquare Gospel Church, Aba Ibeji, in Oluyole Local
Government Area of Oyo State.
According to him: “Nigeria has everything needed to move
forward, including a large youthful population, rich natural resources, fertile
land, and a good geographical location.
“Poor leadership and corruption are holding Nigeria back.
Nigeria is endowed with both human and natural resources but unfortunately it
has not translated to wealth.”
The former presidential spokesman reiterated that many young
Nigerians are frustrated because they cannot find good jobs or enjoy a better
quality of life.
He said the promises made by Nigeria’s past and present
leaders have largely remained unfulfilled, urging current leaders to match
their words with action to ensure that citizens benefit from the country’s
resources.
