Politicians and their families have be the accused of embezzling
the nation’s wealth.
This was revealed by the Nigeria Labour Congress, who opined
that it is “a big disservice to our natural endowments and a
huge slap on the resourcefulness of our people” that the
nation is still importing toothpick, pencils and needles at 60
years after independence.
The NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, in his Independence Day message
on Thursday, noted that “we make a huge mockery of the biggest
assemblage of black people on the planet if at 60 years, we are
unable to refine our own crude oil.”
He said Nigerians is the only member of the Organisation of
Petroleum Exporting Countries, suffering from this malaise.
Wabba in a statement titled, ‘Nigeria at 60: Celebrating
togetherness’, described as sad, the nation’s inability to generate
5,000 mw of electricity with its abundance of water sources, vast
windy terrains, coal and large deposits of natural gas.

He stated, “It is sad that at 60 years, our political
leaders still prefer to send their children to schools abroad and
treat themselves in foreign hospitals since our public schools and
hospitals have been so terribly mismanaged.
“When it comes to eating from the cake, Nigerian workers and
people are shut out in the cold and rain, while those who have
forced their way to positions of political leadership corner the
collective wealth for themselves and their families
alone.”
