We have all it takes to be a great nation. He stated.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">My people what l want to do is to take Nigeria from consumption to production.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">If you want to fight security, is to fight natural security. How? By pulling one out of poverty.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Nigeria did not invest in the future of his children. That is where we are today.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">If Nigeria is a producing country, we will not be where we are today.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Still lamenting over the present state of affairs, he said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;No place you go in Nigeria now, it is bad news. What people ask is, how did we get here? What did we do wrong?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">We are consuming our future. That is why we borrow money and keep servicing debts.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He said no more resources to share again because all Nigeria is good at doing is sharing. Whatever we are sharing is finished.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It is time to wake up and do the needful.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11734\" src=\"https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220516_49397-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220516_49397-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220516_49397-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220516_49397-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220516_49397-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220516_49397.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;I am begging you.

Where many dreamt of coming because of its serene nature but now turned to something else. Bedeviled with security problems.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Kaduna state has so many untapped resources that can bounce it back economically . He noted.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Stressing further more on his capability and what he has in stock for a better nation,\u00a0 he said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;What l will do is invest in the youth.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">l want to empower them.
