Agitations for Secession Will not End Until - Oladejo tells FG


Failed Leadership is Responsible for Seccession's Agitation - Oladejo

Rector, Baptist College of Theology, Oyo, Dr Olusayo Oladejo, has urged the federal government to see to equitable and justifiable distribution of the nation’s resources among the various zones to put an end to intermittent agitations by various groups.
Oladejo who spoke with journalists on Monday, as part of activities marking the college’s 40th anniversary, also lamented that the nation’s leaders had, over the years, failed to appropriately utilise the country’s resources, evident in the current agitation by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).
While lamenting injustice and poverty faced by Nigerians, he said the church was therefore compelled to empower her members to meet their basic needs and meaningfully contribute to state affairs.
Speaking on events of the anniversary to include visitations, revival, students’ day, history book launching, fundraising, Oladejo mentioned that the Vice Chancellor, Ajayi Crowther University, Professor Dapo Asaju will on Saturday deliver the anniversary lecture themed, “Theological Education in the 21st century: Prospects and Challenges.”
In his comments, Chairman, Board of Governors of the college, Dr Olubunmi Ajayi, noted that it was high time Nigerians converged to decide on their terms of being together in one nation.
According to Ajayi, the nation was not bounded by love, hence Nigerians failed to see themselves as members of the same family, but upheld their various ethnic identities.
