Nigeria Presently Led By Myopic Leaders — Jega
One time chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega has described the current crop of leaders overseeing the affairs of Nigeria as myopic.
Jega, who presided over the elections that ushered in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015, made these assertions when he spoke at the 2022 Workers’ Political Conference organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Abuja on Wednesday with the theme, ‘Commitment to National Emancipation and Development through Effective Political Engagement by Nigerian Workers’.

He alleged that the sorry state of the socio-economic conditions under which the Nigerian working people, indeed the overwhelming majority of all citizens live and work, the reckless misrule and misgovernance by a tiny, rabid and reckless band of elite, and the manner by which these myopic “elected’ so-called “leaders” and their collaborators have devastated the Nigerian economy, heightened insecurity, and virtually destroyed the basis for national cohesion and integration, Nigeria, as a potentially great nation, is crying for a rescue mission, before it is too late.

He said Nigerian working-class organisations and movements have had a long, remarkable history of successful struggles to advance the interests of Nigerian working people, especially on trade union issues of salaries and working conditions. jamb results
“Even on larger issues of national interest, beyond the particularistic econometric interests of the working class, they have joined hands with other credible professional associations, students’ movements and civil society organisations, to act with relative success as ‘popular tribunes’, advancing, protecting and defending the interests of the Nigerian people generally”.
“This history of successful partnership in broad-based patriotic alliances and collaborations has, however, witnessed a relative decline since the late 1990s, and especially since the onset of the Fourth Republic, beginning from 1999″.
