Ondo Bishop Arogundade Urges Leaders to Combat Corruption

Most Rev. Jude Arogundade, the Catholic Bishop of Ondo Diocese, called on Nigerian leaders to shun corruption and ensure that the nation's resources benefit the grassroots during his assessment of Nigeria at 66 years of independence. He acknowledged the significant progress made since independence but emphasized the need for unity, sincerity, and responsible leadership to improve the country's situation.

Arogundade urged governors to ensure that the wealth allocated to their states is reflected in the lives of the people at the grassroots level, stating that wealth not reaching the grassroots is not real wealth. He expressed optimism about Nigeria's potential, stating that with unity and collective commitment, the country could achieve global prominence within ten years, leveraging its youthful and intellectual capacity.
