You are the Abuja coordinator of Fix Nigeria Group, what is your hope

for a better Nigeria?

Yes, I'm the FCT Abuja Chapter Coordinator of Fix Nigeria Group and I'm hopeful that the later of Nigeria will be better than it is now or has ever been. Our major problem is leadership failure. For Nigeria to

be better, our leadership sector must be restructured most especially the judiciary and the legislative arms to be about to checkmate the

executive arm for probity and efficacy.

Can you tell us briefly about the past achievements of Fix Nigeria Group?

Objectively, we have the mission to build a system of governance through activism, educational programs, empowerment and collaboration cum with the Vision of the group which is teamwork, transparency and accountability, quality and excellence, decency and integrity. Fix Nigeria Group has set the ball rolling with lots of activities aimed

at setting the mindset of the target audience.

We have been to almost all the universities in Nigeria, FNG was a part of an interactive session in Uniabuja in 2017 when youths were engaged

in topics that has to do with Nation building in collaboration with

PALEC Awards and our founder and National President Tunde Eso, the

initiator of Youthocracy a new system of government was a guest speaker at the event. Also, as a way to educate the youth population, FNG national body in early 2018 was engaged in an interview at Voice of Nigeria Abuja where we gave systematic solutions to the agitation

of IPOB, unstable power supply, insecurity and the other internal threats in Nigeria which include closing the gap between leaders and the led.

As a built to the 2019 general elections, FNG held online training for her youth ambassadors on the benefits of participating and ensuring peaceful elections.

We planned to train a considerable numbers of youths by January next

year on leadership development, career kick-start and business

management training, cinematography, media reporting, photography,

paint making, bead making, soap making, public speaking, career clinic, public relations, web designs, cake making, computer training

to further boast our commerce and industry. In this regard we are

raising fund within ourselves and

How do you think your Fix Nigeria Group can further contribute to the

development of Nigeria?

FNG is positioned to attend to the major challenges bedeviling the

Nigerian Nation. With our target audience well defined between 18-45years of age, we will be building the leaders and they would be

leaders for the serious task of nation building. This will include workshops and mentoring of Students Union leaders in our tertiary

institutions and guide them into the conventional leadership (politics) outside the four walls of the Universities and others.

Are you not worried that the president shunned youths in his appointments in preference to working with old people?

We are worried. The exclusion of the youth is unhealthy for a nation

that wants to grow and hand the future to the youth.

Do you think the youth are ready to take over governance in Nigeria?

Nigerian youths are ready to take over the leadership of the country. But the challenges I see is the financial implication of doing so. The political space in Nigeria is too expensive. Political parties' nomination forms for governorship are still in millions. But gradually, we are fixing it up.

What is your take on Omoyele Sowore arrest by the federal government?

Let me start with an adage that says "the poison that killed a dog will its owner if swallowed" Today, it is Omoyele Sowore, tomorrow it could be you or even me. Sowore for me is a fellow comrade! Therefore,

I add my voice to those calling on the FG for his immediate release.

Wherefore, FG should attend to the items of concerned raised by the AAC Presidential Candidate in the 2019 election.

What do you think can be done to further affirm the rule of law in Nigeria?

The rule of law is not a human, it is only but a document that can

only be acted and interpreted by people and is as strong as how the

people want it to be.

Affirming the rule of law means that laws work and take its course to

either reward or clampdown on anyone found in its punishment list. The

project "Rebranding Nigeria started by Late Dora Akunyili as a Minister of information and communications and the efforts made by

Mike Omeri in National Orientation Agency" are some of the best we

have had. It will surprise you that most Nigerians don't even know what a referendum is and the power they hold. When the NOA and the Ministry of Information and Communications are strengthened to inform

and educate Nigerians, our people will know what it means to have a country that works.
