There is nothing stopping Nigeria to be among the 10 best countries in the world and the best Country in Africa.
We can achieve all these if we come together to have a common goal, to move Nigeria forward.
I urge everyone to be part of the Nation building, don’t leave the work of building Nigeria to just few people to decide. Nigeria belongs to all of us and we must all work it out.”

It’s a right approach, and will also use this opportunity to let him know that Nigeria economy needs to be diversified from Petroleum to other things like agriculture and also developments of industrial sectors.”
