The duo spoke in Lagos at a lecture, entitled ‘Restructuring: Building a Knowledge-Based Economy,’ organised by a Yoruba intelligentsia group, Voice of Reason (VOR), in honour of its founder, the late Prince Goke Omisore.

The stakeholders who spoke at the event held at the Agip Hall, also raised the alarm over the falling standard of education in Nigeria, saying that true restructuring is the solution to the myriad of problems confronting the country.

Babalola, who was represented by Professor Kunle Olowu, revealed that Nigeria’s constitution was its greatest problem.
