Restructuring can’t solve Nigeria’s problems says, Ganduje

The Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has opposed calls for the restructuring of the country.

According to Ganduje, restructuring is not the panacea to the nation’s current socio-economic woes but that Nigerians need to restructure their mindsets instead.

The governor argued that the United States “is more geo-politically fragmented, with a lot more nationalities than Nigeria, yet, it is undisputedly the strongest nation in the world.”

Ganduje noted that the US attained its current status due largely to the ability of its leaders to harness the positive thoughts and actions of its heterogeneous population but certainly not by restructuring the country along geo-political divides.

Ganduje said this at a social event organised in honour of delegates to a pre-election meeting of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, in Kano.

Ganduje said Nigeria should focus attention on tapping from the potential of its youths to facilitate national integration and development.

Lamenting the high prevalence of corruption in the country, he argued that youths are the best segment of the society to lead the crusade against it, following their physical and intellectual capacity, as well as their leadership potential.

Earlier, the acting National President of the council, Ibukunoluwa Oluwole, commended the Ganduje-led administration for hosting their meeting and requested monthly subvention and office accommodation for the state branch of the council, to facilitate their activities.
