KANO — Against
the backdrop of calls for true federalism, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of
Kano State has said restructuring was
not the panacea to the nation’s
current socio-economic woes.
Instead, Ganduje
explained that Nigerians for now needed to restructure their mindsets to return
the country to the path of progress.
The governor noted that the United States was more
geo-politically fragmented and had more nationalities than Nigeria, yet it
remained the strongest nation in the world.
According to Ganduje, the US
attained its present status because of the ability of its leaders to harness
the positive thoughts and actions of its heterogeneous population and not by
restructuring the country along geopolitical divides.
Ganduje, who spoke during
a social event organized in honour of delegates to a pre-election meeting of
the National Youth Council of Nigeria, in Kano, advocated that Nigeria should
devote attention to tapping from the potentialities of its youths for national
integration and development.
Lamenting the high prevalence of corruption in
Nigeria, the governor argued that youths were the best segment of the society
to lead in the crusade against it, in view of their physical and intellectual
capacity as well as their leadership potential.
Earlier, Acting National
President of the council, Comrade Ibukunoluwa Oluwole, commended the Ganduje
administration for hosting their meeting and requested monthly subvention and
office accommodation for the state branch of the council.
