The Centre for Human and Socioeconomic Rights (CHSR) says fixing Nigeria is not impossible with visionary, disciplined, and dedicated leadership and followership.
CHSR’s National President, Mr. Alex Omotehinse, stated this in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos, while reacting to the country’s 61st Independence Day Anniversary.
“Fixing Nigeria is not something impossible to achieve if the people at the helm of affairs are ready to be sincere and serve the country with integrity and utmost sincerity.
“The fight against corruption must not be made selective against only perceived enemies or political opponents, but total.
“CHSR insists and reiterates that all elective positions should be made unattractive by paying all political office holders according to their level of qualifications like the civil servants.
“This will help us to have round pegs in round holes,” Omotehinse said.

According to him, the fragile unity, challenge of insecurity, corruption and lack of power supply have held back the country from achieving the dreams of its founding fathers.
He said that all tiers of government in the country should take the issue of security and power seriously.
“As Nigeria is preparing to celebrate her 61st independence, the CHSR implores the Nigerian government to take the issue of insecurity more seriously, improve on the power sector.
“This will encourage and attract foreign investors to have the confidence to invest in the country,” he stated.
Nigeria marks her Independence on Oct. 1 annually since 1960.
