Abiodun Ajiboye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Executive Secretary of the National Institute for Cultural Orientation, has said Nigeria has been without a clear developmental direction since independence in 1960.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Tuesday, June 16, Ajiboye described the country’s infrastructure development as largely uncoordinated, arguing that previous administrations failed to implement long-standing development plans.
Ajiboye said, “The situation with Nigeria is like a country that has existed since 1960, with no direction in terms of infrastructure. We didn’t have any direction.
“Some of the infrastructure projects that President Bola Tinubu is executing now are development plans of 1983 that subsequent governments did not touch.
“Also, a conscious effort wasn’t made to build a society of nationalistic, patriotic and civil Nigerians. The problems of Nigeria should be every individual’s problem.”
