The presidential candidate of the Zenith Labour Party, Olusegun Mimiko, says a Nigeria of his dreams where Information Technology will be the essential anti-corruption tool, is achievable.
The former Governor of Ondo State said this on Tuesday during an interactive session tagged ‘Conversation With Mimiko’ which took place Ibadan, Oyo State.
He also reiterated his commitment to restructuring, noting that all the tiers of government must play active roles in ensuring national development.
According to him, restructuring is not a north versus south debate, but one that must advance development in every part of Nigeria – creating jobs and wealth for all, irrespective of tribe or religion.
Fielding questions from newsmen, Mimiko said much emphasis is being put on foreign manpower for the execution of capital projects in the country when Nigeria has more than enough professionals who can do better jobs, faster and cheaper.
He also frowned at the current state of infrastructure in the country and opined that a lot could be achieved if local manpower is deployed in the critical areas needing urgent attention.
The presidential aspirant further stated that he is confident that if given the chance to rule the country, he will implement policies that will limit movement of high denomination cash, put an end to delay of justice and insist on equitable distribution of the Commonwealth of the nation.
