The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Rev.
Matthew Hassan Kukah, Tuesday identified
distortion of nationhood as the main problem
confronting Nigeria as a country.
The Activist Priest insisted that Nigeria must learn
to manage her diversity and maximize it, if the
country is serious about meeting its goals of
sustainable development.
Kukah said getting it right in the education sector
will help in the transformation of values and a
positive generational change capable of launching
Nigeria into the league of most developed nations
of the world.
He made this assertion while delivering the 3rd
convocation lecture of the Afe Babalola University,
Ado Ekiti, titled: “Education and Leadership
Recruitment for a Plural Society: A Case of
Nigeria.”
The lecture was chaired by the former Chairman
of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega and was attended by
the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Alhaji Ado Ibrahim,
ABUAD Founder, Aare Afe Babalola and other
dignitaries.
Kukah used the event to canvas support for
President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption
crusade, but stressed that the fight against
corruption could only guarantee a stable nation
when it is complemented by entrenchment and
protection of social justice and the rule of law.
