Former governor of Anambra State (2003 to 2011) and 2019 Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Peter Obi, has reiterated his popular thesis that the Nigerian State will go nowhere in development, until it finds solutions to the wastage of public funds and the high cost of governance at all levels.
Obi told participants of Course 4 of the Strategic Management and Policy Course, at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre in Abuja. “Progress will not happen in Nigeria for as long as we maintain the quantum of wastage in public service,” Obi told his audience, comprising retired Generals and serving top brass officers from the Army, various security agencies and paramilitary organisations.
He said that Nigerian leaders must strive to create public wealth, rather than focus on accumulating private wealth when in office. “Public wealth enriches everybody, but private wealth impoverishes the people and the nation,” he said.
According to Obi, the core of Nigeria’s challenges is leadership, stressing that until our leaders commit to good governance and responsible management of public resources, the right policies will not be put in place to serve public good.
