Former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the late President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has expressed concern over Nigeria’s socio-economic decline, blaming poor leadership, corr¥ption, weak infrastructure and unemployment for the country’s inability to reach its full potential.
Adesina made the remarks while delivering a paper titled “Nigeria’s Kinetics: How Long?” at the first annual public lecture organised by the Foursquare Gospel Church, Aba Ibeji, held at Mauve 21 in the Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo State.
According to him, Nigeria has everything needed for growth and development, including a large youthful population, abundant natural resources, fertile land and a favourable geographical location. However, he said these advantages have not translated into prosperity.
