Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja Catholic Archdiocese, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has identified two reasons Nigeria is yet to truly fulfil its potentials of leading black nations in the world
According to the revered cleric, mismanagement and corruption are the two critical factors holding the Nigeria back.
Speaking while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television, the Archbishop Emeritus stated that the country still has the resources to lead black nations if it can fight corruption and properly manage its resources.
He reflected on Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary, noting that the nation’s setbacks stem largely from governance failures rather than a lack of potential.
“Why we haven’t reached the goals of our founding fathers has to do with the management of our wonderful resources. We have all it takes to be the leader of the black nations in the premier league of world nations.
“But we are not going to get there by propaganda, we will only get there by reality on the ground,” he said.
