Restructuring alone can’t solve Nigeria’s problems – Pat Utomi

He made the statement while speaking at “The
Platform,’’ a national discourse forum organised
by the Covenant Christian Centre in Lagos on
Monday.
The APC chieftain further explained that some
states with less resources were more
developed than some resource-rich states.
The APC chieftain, therefore, said that the
belief that the states would do better with
more resources was a myth. He added that
only those states that made the people the
core of their governance would develop.
He described governance in most states as
poor, while saying local governments in the
country were dysfunctional.

“The local governments in the country are
dysfunctional and are a bloody waste of
resources,’’ he said.
Speaking further, Utomi said Nigeria needed to
be restructured in a way that the costs of
governance would be reduced, so as to be able
to deliver the goods.
Utomi described the call for the creation of
more states as antithetical to development.
Utomi said the destiny of the country was in
the hands of everyone and urged Nigerians to
work for the progress of the nation.
