Oyedepo Blames Nigeria’s Woes On Systemic Failure

 

The Chancellor of Landmark University, Omu Aran, Kwara State, Bishop David Oyedepo, has traced the socio-economic challenges confronting Nigeria to systemic failure.

Oyedepo,who is also the founder of Living Faith Church, said there was no point blaming political parties or individuals for the nation’s challenges.

Oyedepo made this declaration during an interaction with newsmen at the fifth founder’s day celebration of the university .

The cleric added that, “our problem is a systemic problem not political or leadership problem and we must find solution to it. Nigeria will not go down the drain, we will proffer solution to it.”

He,however, urged the present government to be more sensitive to issues that affect ordinary people, noting that things had not been working well.

According to him, “where we are today is not where we should be. The effect of the forex has a lot to do with small scale industries and that is where the bulk of Nigeria employment is.”

“ Anybody can make mistakes but if people in the authority are not sensitive to the cry of the people, we would keep making more mistakes. My understanding is that it is never late to be right. If a decision is made and we discovered it is not right we should do an informed review,”he stated.
