Lai Mohammed, National Publicity Secretary, APC
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Publicity Secretary, has called for collective efforts of all stakeholders to tackle the rots in all sectors of the nation’s economy.
Mohammed made the call during an annual Ramadan lecture organised by the Lai Mohammed Ramadan Lecture Series in Oro, Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara on Friday.
Mohammed said that there was the need for Nigerians to continue to defend the mandate they freely gave to President Mohammed Buhari during the last general elections by being supportive of his government at all times.
The APC chieftain said that the call became necessary to assist the present administration in tacking the challenges of socio-economic, security and decayed infrastructure confronting the nation.
“Nigerians have made history by voting for the opposition to take over the reins of power from a ruling party that held sway for 16 years.
“They must now follow up by ensuring that the process of change which they brought about comes into fruition by supporting the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Never before had our nation been put in a situation where it virtually has to start rebuilding from the scratch after almost all sectors have become nearly comatose,” he said.
The APC publicity secretary, who described the nation’s health and education statistics as worse than the average compared to other African countries, said that the menace was receiving the urgent attention from the present administration in the country.
“For instance, 128 children die in every 1,000 live births as at 2013, while mortality from malaria is estimated at 1,157 malaria deaths per 100,000 of the population.
“The current system in education is failing to equip Nigeria’s children with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in today’s rapidly changing society and economy.”
