Restructure your minds, not Nigeria, Ganduje tells advocates

The governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has punctured the calls for restructuring of the country, saying what is needed is the restructuring of the mindsets of Nigerians.

According to the governor, if Nigerians can restructure their mindsets, the country will back on the path of progress.

Ganduje also argued that the United States was more geo-politically fragmented and had more nationalities than Nigeria, yet it remained the strongest nation in the world.

According to him, the US attained its present status because of the ability of its leaders to harness the positive thoughts and actions of its heterogeneous population and not by restructuring the country along geopolitical divides.

Ganduje stated this when he hosted delegates of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, in Kano to a pre-election meeting, advocating for Nigerians to devote attention to tapping from the potentialities of its youths for national integration and development.

According to him, youths presents the best opportunity for the crusade against the high prevalence of corruption in the country because of their physical and intellectual capacity as well as their leadership potentials.
