Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu, has accused Nigerian leaders of lacking interest in solving the country’s problems.
Moghalu, in a post on his X handle on Monday, said many Nigerian leaders are more focused on politics, rent-seeking, and picking sycophants and ethnic journeymen for jobs they can’t perform.
The Nigerian political economist stressed that knowledge, competence, expertise, and 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.”
