He noted that the failure to develop critical sectors has led to infrastructure deficits and dilapidated school facilities.
“We neglected our communities, the geese that lay the golden eggs. We forgot to give them a decent standard of living, to educate our children. Go and look at the schools; they are all ramshackle,” Tinubu added.
