He said the impression that Nigeria has leadership problem is a myth, adding that the country has produced many exceptional leaders.
The governor spoke on Monday at the Courtesy Call Room of the Lagos House, Ikeja, while receiving the management of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), led by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Osayuki Oshodin.
The governor, an alumnus of UNIBEN, said the university has produced many leaders.
He said: “UNIBEN produced me, Mr. Shodipo, the Attorney-General of Delta State, Obayuwana, Patrick Obahiagbon in Edo State and so many others that have exploded the myth that there is a leadership problem. There isn’t.
“The issue is how the country has been able to deploy its human capacity and how it can keep the production line well oiled. They key is how well peopled and well funded the production line is.”
Fashola acknowledged UNIBEN’s impact on him, saying the institution is committed to academic, sporting and medical excellence.
He pledged to continue to support his alma mater
Oshodin said Fashola’s performance as governor has made UNIBEN proud and thanked him for assisting the institution’s Faculty of Law.
He said their visit was to inform the governor of the inauguration of an UNIBEN Endowment Fund slated for April 6.
Others on the UNIBEN team include the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics), Prof. Obehi Okojie; the Registrar, Mrs. Gladys Ogbohodo; the Overseer of Ekenwan Campus and Dean of Students’ Affairs, Prof. Victor Omazuwa as well as the Acting Librarian, Mrs. Grace Sanni.
