The Chancellor of Landmark University, Bishop David Oyedepo, has challenged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government to be more sensitive to issues that affect ordinary Nigerians saying that things have not been working well.

Speaking with journalists in Omu Aran at the 5th founder’s day celebration of the Landmark University, Omu Aran, Kwara state, founder of Living Faith Church worldwide, a.k.a Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has challenged the present administration under President Muhammadu Buhari to be more sensitive to issues that affect ordinary nigerians, adding that things have not been working well.    The Bishop who is also the Chancelor of the university, further described the socio-economic challenges in the nation as those borne out of systemic failure, adding that there is no point blaming any political party or individual for the current travails Nigeria is facing .    "Our problem is a systemic problem not political or leadership problem and we must find solution to it. Nigeria will not go down the drain, we will proffer solution to it. "The present administration should be more sensitive to issues that affect ordinary people, because things had not been working well. Where we are today is not where we should be. The effect of the forex has a lot to do with small scale industries and that is where the bulk of Nigeria employment is.

"Anybody can make mistakes but if people in the authority are not sensitive to the cry of the people, we would keep making more mistakes. My understanding is that it is never late to be right. If a decision is made and we discovered it is not right we should do an informed review," he added.    The clergyman cum academician stated further, "What am saying is that things have not been working and we are all aware of it. There is no point pointing accusing finger. Each individuals in the country also have a lot to play to recover the dignity of our nation."   He however stressed that,"The challenges have been with us for many years, it didn’t just happen now. Government should be sensitive on issue that affect everybody. We have been fighting over the issue of power for many decades now. Government should have its priority.  "They should itemise the fundamentals that can move Nigeria forward and commit to it. We don’t have to have the resources, if we have the platform for investors to come in because they are more in touch with the issues.  "Look at the present fuel problem. It used to be black market but now we have black stations and they have the right to sell at any price because they are private marketers but the government still need to come out and take a decision on it.
