Nigerians decry slow pace of nation’s infrastructural development
Some Nigerians have
decried the slow pace of the nation’s infrastructural development,
saying that there had been little development in the sector, 50 years
after independence.
In separate
interviews in Lagos on Thursday, the citizens said the country had
nothing to celebrate in terms of infrastructural development.
Omeresan Adegite, a
former president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria
(ICAN), advised the country to adopt international best practices to
ensure the growth of the various sectors of the economy.
“We need to adopt
the International Public Sector Statement of Auditing Standards
(IPSSAS) as part of its strategies to promote accountability, and
transparency in governance,” Mrs. Adegite said.

Marquis-Bamgbala, a retired chief superintendent of police, said that
the crisis the nation was facing today was due to lack of foresight and
greed of leaders.
“I enjoin all eligible voters to use the coming elections to elect credible leaders,” she said.
Kazeem Afolabi, an entrepreneur, said, “The nation’s problem is not lack of ideas, but poor implementation.”
