Kukah: Building a good society takes time
One year is not enough to rate and pass judgment on the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese and Kukah Centre Founder Matthew Kukah, said yesterday.
Kukah, however, said that the government owes it a sacred duty to communicate when it will fix the prevailing socio-economic challenges.
The cleric, who was accompanied by the Director of the Kukah Centre, Fr. Atta Barkindo, spoke with reporters at the State House, Abuja after meeting with the President Tinubu.
He was at the Presidential Villa to discuss an upcoming event organised by the Kukah Centre to dialogue on national cohesion.
According to him, while the administration is providing solutions to the myriad of the challenges, the citizens need to get a sense of how soon they expect to breathe a sigh of relief.
The cleric said: “I believe that the essence of government is to guarantee the welfare and security of ordinary citizens. I believe that the times that we are in are very very difficult times, and nobody should be under any illusion.
My argument has always been that the government needs to very quickly improve the quality of communication so that Nigerians can at least get a sense of how long is going to be before food is ready.”
He further said that Nigerians also have to come to terms with the fact that building a good society does not happen in a hurry.
