Adesina: Nigeria Must Manage Diversity to Attain Greatness

Tobi Soniyi President of the African Development Bank, Dr Akinwumi Adesina has said that Nigeria will only attain greatness if it manages its diversity properly. Speaking, on Saturday, at the convocation lecture he delivered at the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, Adamawa state capital, Adesina said Nigerians deserve wealth, not poverty, adding that the nation must learn how to manage its diversity for prosperity. He said that the nation’s diversity is at present being mismanaged and suggested the way out, citing the Singapore example. According to him: “Our diversity is not our problem. Diversity is our strength. “But when mismanaged, diversity becomes divergence. Rather than unite, we become splintered, with each entity believing that, somehow, it is better without the other. We must manage diversity for collective good.”

We must drive national cohesion, not ethnic nationalities.” Dr Adesina who was also conferred with a Doctor of Humane Letters, said, “Nigeria is blessed with incredibly rich diversity of people, cultures, religions, mineral resources, oil and gas, an amazingly rich biodiversity that should make it the envy of the world.
