The founder of the Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Aare Afe Babalola , has said the news of crude oil discovery in the North gladdens his heart, because such a discovery will hasten the restructur
ing of the country.
The lecture, with the theme, ‘Restructuring: Building a knowledge-based society,’ held at the MUSON Centre, Onikan and Babalola was represented by the Provost, Postgraduate School, Afe Babalola University, Prof. Kunle Olowu, as chairman on the occasion. Giving his remarks as chairman on the occasion, Babalola said his prayer was that there would be more oil discoveries around the country because “it will make it easier for the country to embark on the process of restructuring and thereby solve the age-long problem of oil-producing states.”
Babalola added that as a result of the constitution, politics had become the most lucrative business in the country. “The new people’s constitution will put a most deserving end to the current prevalence of transactional leaders who are only out to make money for themselves.”
