Yoruba stock on Thursday, where a decision was taken and clamour made

country and pave way for nationhood is the change that changes the
structure of project Nigeria.”

amount of sermon from the pulpit can change the country adding ” that
change that will bring about the necessary interest and determination

they earn from their sweat as against the wealth acquired from stealing
public fund .

Babalola said it is restructuring that would enable the component part
of the country to function effectively.
“It is restructuring that
could enable each state control its population, set internationally
acceptable standard for admission to tertiary institutions and bring
back the glory of quality education from our university.

restructuring that would curb over-concentration of power in the centre
and reduce corruption , promote harmony and unity and make the country
metamorphose into a nation”
