Return to the Pre-Civil War Status is the Only Solution to the Biafran Agitation – Emeka Anyaoku

Again, the national question returned to the front burner yesterday as former Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku reaffirmed that unless she goes back to regional government, Nigeria may be embarking on an endless, fruitless search for meaningful development and political stability.

Anyaoku who was chairman at the 2015 edition of the Akintola Williams Distinguished Lecture Series held in Lagos , maintained that Nigeria’s quest to attain full potential in national growth and finding a lasting solution to the current secessionist movements bedeviling the country would be possible only if there is a restructuring of the existing basis of the country’s governance, saying a return to regional government is the way forward.
For Anyaoku, the present structure is militating against the fast development of the country.
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi who delivered the lecture titled: Leadership factors and good corporate governance: Key to national growth and development , said that a continued deliberate devaluation of the public sector in order to paint the private sector as very critical to building national prosperity will do Nigeria no good.
