Nigeria needs mental revolution to progress – Tinubu

A National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has called for a mental revolution in the country.
According to him, a mental revolution is the only way Nigeria can achieve socio-economic growth.
Tinubu, who was represented by renowned scholar Prof. Adebayo Williams, stated this on Thursday
at the presentation of a book, titled: “Entrepreneurship Development Manual with Pre-Retirement Modules”, in Lagos.
The book was edited by Dr. Michael Oladun.
He said, “When people call for revolution in this country, the first revolution has to do with mental revolution; a shifting in the whole paradigm. The white man was able to come to Africa and conquer us not because of superior artillery, it was because of superior knowledge.
“If ever we want to come out of our political, economic and, in fact, spiritual rot, we need knowledge revolution”.
Tinubu who was the chief launcher, also praised the author for “the work of prodigious scholarship”, clarifying that the transition “from pre-retirement to activity is not a tea party. It requires adaptability and flexibility”.
He added that the book was a result of “focus, a lot of brilliance, discipline, rigorous research and scholarship and also depth.”
Presenting the book, Prof. Williams bought five copies for an undisclosed amount and said that Tinubu had earlier reached out to the editor and the contributors.
