Scholars seek solution to governance crisis

Ijebu-Imushin is the hometown of the Chief Whip of the House of Representatives during the aborted Third Republic, Hon. Olawale Oshun.

The ARG chairman recalled that he grew up knowing and experiencing a country that catered for Nigerians, where a citizen did not have to know anybody to get admission to any university of their choice or secure a befitting employment, whether in the private or public sector, because of the system at the time. He regretted that Nigeria of such a setting no longer exists.

The renowned sociologist whose paper is titled, “Nigeria: a Paradox and a Silver Lining”, listed some of the reasons the country is not moving forward, including the lack of internal democracy among the political parties, particularly the unregulated use of money in the leadership recruitment process.

With the determination of the current government to address the security situation in the country by de-centralising the policing system, Prof. Olaniyan also expressed fears about the possible abuses of state police by governors. Today, he said Nigerians have become so poor that they rely on palliatives and subsidies to survive. He said Nigeria will not make progress unless the citizens generally and political leaders in particular change their attitude toward the country’s natural resources.
