Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Professor Chidi Odinkalu, yesterday requested President Muhammadu Buhari to reveal his plans for Nigeria in the country rather than the emerging habit of making such known during visits to foreign countries.<\/p>\n
The NHRC Chairman,\u00a0 made this known while addressing legal luminaries during a conference to brainstorm on the roles of Integrity and Accountability in National Development in Abuja.<\/p>\n
According to him,\u00a0 the era of change which the President has launched, requires that he carries Nigerians along first.<\/p>\n
He disclosed that Buhari\u2019s trend of announcing his plans in foreign countries is inconsiderate of the needs of Nigerians, who elected him into office and deserve to know his plans for governance without reading or hearing about them in the foreign media.<\/p>\n
The event was also set to create a dialogue for national renewal by overhauling the country\u2019s integrity system to ensure accountability.<\/p>\n
The discussion emphasized that development in Nigeria can neither be advanced nor sustained while impunity and lack of accountability are allowed in the public service and government at all levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
