The Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Achebe, has decried the state of Nigeria as a nation, saying the country is suffering from institutional neglect, policy somersaults, and poor implementation, despite the government’s efforts.
Achebe stated this on Thursday at the Nigerian Academy of Letters (NAL) 27th convocation.
The royal father explained that the situation predicted by former NUC Executive Secretary, Professor Peter Okebukola, 20 years ago has become more pronounced today.
“Nigeria has suffered institutional neglect, policy somersaults, and poor implementation,” Achebe said.
According to the monarch, the challenges hinder the nation’s ability to develop necessary human capacity, while other African countries are rapidly advancing with digital technology.
