Nigerian Governor slams British Government for Nigeria’s faulty foundation

 


Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje at the weekend attributed the challenges facing the nation to the faulty foundation laid by the colonial masters.

 

Speaking as a guest speaker at the launching of the N250million Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje Lecture Theatre and Award, at the University of Ibadan (UI), Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, the governor lamented that the faulty foundation laid by the colonial masters was done to actualise their personal interests, instead of Nigeria’s development.

 

Ganduje, who received the Most Distinguished Alumni Award of the university, said the colonial rule divided Nigeria into North and South without concern for the peculiarities of the two regions.

 

He said the division was without concern for the difference in land tenure systems, local government administration, education and judicial systems.

 

The governor noted that Nigeria’s challenges should be a matter of concern to its citizenry, adding that there was need to reflect on the journey so far so as to leave better legacy for future.

 

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Kayode Adebowale, said decaying infrastructure was one of the major challenges facing the institution.

 

He hailed Ganduje for donating the theatre hall, which, according to him, would aide students’ learning.

 

Adebowale, on behalf of the Governing Council, workers and management of the institution, thanked the governor for his gesture.

 

Dignitaries at the event included the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado-Bayero, Sen. Gbenga Kaka, UI Alumni President Prof. Elsie Adewoye, politicians, families and friends, among others.
