“Therefore, in Nigeria, we believe the Federal Republic of Nigeria is too concentrated at the centre, we need to devolve powers to the various federating units and the other aspect of this is that we need to strengthen it so that we live togther in peace and stability and be able to develop Nigeria.
“But added to the restructuring is the reconciliation of Nigeria. Our people must learn to live togther in peace. There is also the issue disturbing Nigerians and part of democracy is to listen, is to understand, analyse the situation and now generate consensus and be able to move forward in such a way that you have the support of the people and that is restructuring with reconciliation.
“Then of course the issue of infrastructure is a priority. Any nation that must develop must have an excellent infrastructure of roads, railways, waterways, airways so that good and services will move in the economy.
“Every economy that is vibrant in the whole world depends on excellent infrastructure. In Nigeria, we have the mediocre infrastructure, we must therefore give Nigeria 21st century infrastructure so that our economy will be on a solid base. And thirdly, we must grow this economy.
“This is a huge economy, but resources have not been utilised. Part of the economic growth must be to ensure also that agricultural sector is fully restructured and transformed so that we can be productive and our people can therefore enjoy their lives so that there will be sufficient food and raw materials in the land, and also industrial production to generate wealth, employment.”
