Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Kingsley Moghalu, has accused Nigerian leaders of not truly interested in solving the country’s problems.
Moghalu said they were more ‘focused on politics, rent-seeking, and picking sycophants and ethnic journeymen for jobs they can’t perform’.
In a post on his X handle on Monday, Moghalu stressed that knowledge, competence and expertise, in addition to political will, would solve Nigeria’s problems.
He said: “The tragedy of Nigeria is that many of its leaders are not truly interested in solving the country’s problems.
“They are more focused on politics, rent-seeking, and picking sycophants and ethnic journeymen for jobs they can’t perform. But problems can’t solve themselves.
“It’s knowledge, competence and expertise, plus political will, that solves problems. To bring these factors together to fix Nigeria’s problems requires real #Leadership.
“This is a concept that can incorporate politics, but goes well beyond it. #LeadershipMatters.”
