Professor Abdul-Ganiyu Garba has said the country may face bigger challenges if the leaders fail to create an environment where peace and justice reign.
Garba noted that the recession currently rocking the economy is a sign of grave problems to come.
Garba made this statement at “The Platform” organised by Pastor Poju Oyemade’s Covenant Christian Centre.
He said challenges facing the nation are not restricted to the economy, stressing that solving the economic challenges demand wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
He further stated that while majority are bitterly affected, some few others are selfishly benefitting from the crisis.
In his words: “Not everyone dislikes recession because to some, the recession is an opportunity”.
He urged the government to intervene before the economy plummets to what is irredeemable, resounding these words: empires rise, empires fall.
He said there is going to be discord across the land if things do not get right, stressing that the people are bound to revolt in a nation where disparity reigns high.
“If leaders fail to create the environment where peace and justice will thrive, there will be bigger issues to handle than economic issues”, Garba said
Also speaking at the speaking at the event, Prince Bimbo Olashore said the Nigerian economy is presently heading out of recession, and expressed optimism that by the end of the second quarter, Nigeria would be out of recession.
