Focus on LG development for sustainable national growth – Adeshina tells Tinubu

Adeshina made the call during an interview with newsmen on Sunday where he stated that the primary purpose of the government, after ensuring the safety of life and property, was to guarantee improved conditions of the citizens wherever they live in the country.

According to the DG who highlighted some ills in the country while suggesting measures to salvage them, many Local Government Areas (LGAs) have not witnessed the dividends of democracy noting that rural communities had suffered the most due to poor governance.

He said,

“Simple road networks cannot be built to required standards.

“Local government council officials lack required scrutiny and, are in most cases, incapable of managing public pulse.

Given Nigeria’s abundant natural and human resources, the current state of development is a source of concern.
