Analyst tasks confab delegates on lack of basic education, others

By Wole Mosadomi

Minna — A public affairs analyst, Shafii Muhammed, has asked delegates to the ongoing national conference to find lasting solutions to lack of basic education, provision of infrastructural facilities, improvements in the agricultural sector and railway services and rule of law for their deliberations to make the desired impact in the society.

Other issues he said included reduction in poverty level, insecurity as well as love for one another.

Speaking in an interview with Vanguard in Minna,  Muhammed said failure to address the issues which he said were sensitive with permanent solutions would amount to a waste of time and  nation’s resources on the part of the delegates.

He regretted what he said was lack of improvement in the educational sector, saying that the situation was worsening instead of improving just as the level of injustice across the country was aiding fraud and corruption in the society.

He said: ”There are many people seen to be above the law in the country now. They are referred to as the untouchables. When they commit any offence no matter how grievous, they are not arrested talk more of being prosecuted but when a poor man steals N1,000, he is immediately sent to jail. This injustice must be addressed by the conference.”
