The Founder and Spiritual leader of Shafaudeen in Islam worldwide, Ibadan Prof. Sabit Ariyo Olagoke JP has advised President Bola Tinubu to inject sanity into the nation’s socio-economic and political system and ensure observance of global best practices in governance as panacea to curb the social ills bedeviling the country.

meaningful team with good leadership drive and passion for the people .

According to him Nigeria has over the years , lost its core value system of integrity, discipline, civility, objectives of education and professional ethics, moral uprightness and sacredness and core of piety in religion noting that these have resulted in moral rot of waywardness and frivolities, endemic corruption and kleptocracy driven by Timocracy in power which is manifesting through cabal and cartel operational gang up against legitimacy with untold hardship on our socio-economic lives.

” This is achievable through sanity injection rather than the myth of incision which is an opium of psychological therapy for the system of Nigeria to be Science-Technology compliant
on global best practices as antidote to our social ills, for example, policy and palliatives must focus on poverty alleviation, system regulation and control for functional democracy for peace and sustainable development to be realized.

fuel subsidy removal is overdue but must be with corresponding
commensurate palliative measures as effective relief for poverty alleviation, “he advised

Professor Olagoke also called for government intervention, regulation and control on the abolition of dual rates for Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) currency floating policy into a single rate based on market forces and to bring offenders to book as appropriate without fear or favour .

He continued ” Corruption, employment challenge, security issues and functional Education For All including the 14million Out-of-School children challenge must be given adequate attention to justify the essence of child rearing and youth nature nurturing for bequethable legacy

” Increase GDP and patronize home-made goods to revamp the economy
For sanity restoration in Nigeria, wastage of resources must be curbed.
The elements in the tunnel of political channel must be people of integrity for credible leadership and
good governance as products of the ideal of culture, education and religion. These are the key three fundamentals of spiritual importance to articulate our social desire for development and to be functionally relevant to our political administration and astute
management.

” Let us stop political frivolities, but bridge the wide gap in the salary structure differentials of the civil servants and their political allies to remove the foundation of the evils that have been befalling us as a Nation without marginalizing People With
Disabilities (PWDs), Internally Displaced persons (IDPs) and Women minimum benchmark of 35% Affirmative Action in the scheme of building Nigeria aright.
