”The biggest message is to try and persuade the people that it is not possible to change the state of affairs now.
”It took 16 years and those 16 years, most of you know it better than myself, Nigeria earned revenue more than what it earned from 1914 till then.
”In the economy, we have to quickly turn to agriculture and mining because that is where you can do the quickest work and earn results.
”In other areas, you need to study them and dust all the books and studies and get people, experienced people, committed people, technocrats to come and help the government.
This is a serious matter!
