NIGERIA @60: We need love for good governance – Foundation
The Benjamin Olowojebutu Foundation (BOF), has called for the need to show love if the world must advance in all ramification.
The Foundation’s Founder, Benjamin Oluwatosin Olowojebutu in an independence message to Nigeria on Thursday, noted that there is a fundamental element which makes humanity meaningful and instigates its advancement and “It is called LOVE”.
Governance, he added is the fundamental craft in advancing humanity while LOVE is the needed tonic for good governance.
He reiterated that what has impeded good governance in Nigeria is the obvious absence of LOVE in our lexicon of governance. “So much avoidable division in our polity and the unwillingness to care for each other”.
There is no gainsaying that Nigeria has unavoidably suffered unnecessary developmental punctuations and stagnations as a result of military misrules and democratic rascality.
“The flight of LOVE has not only affected governance but also other spaces of our polity like HEALTH. Our Health Sector has suffered so much due to the lack of LOVE thereby instigating very profitable Medical tourism at our own peril as a nation”.
“This is why in the spirit of love, togetherness and nation building, the BOF in celebrating Nigeria @ 60 in conjunction with Twinex Medical Centre is Offering 60 discounted Surgeries for Hernia, Lipoma, Breast Lumps and Fibriod”.
He opined that our past and present crop of leaders have not exuded the needed LOVE for the people towards improving our health care sector and galvanizing the real change we desire.
“There will never be any considerable improvement in our health care Sector without LOVE,” he said.
“Our dear nation attained independence from her colonial watchkeepers with the hope that it will inspire further development of the nation in all ramifications. Though, those young patriotic Nigerians who midwife the Independence struggle had good intentions of speeding up the development of Nigeria”, he added.
“The Covid-19 pandemic came like a tsunami and ravaged every fibre of our lives and brought us into a NEW NORMAL and our lives have never been the same again. I believe there will be great light at the end of the tunnel and our nation will be great again when LOVE becomes the focal point of all we do as a nation”.
