Nigeria Writer and Noble Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka has tasked the Federal Government on the exigency of decentralisation of power in the State.
He said this, today during an interactive session with newsmen where he emphasised on the need for a genuine and practical decentralisation of power as way of promoting real devolution of power amongst the various tiers of government in the state to establish a true civil society.
He said, “Decentralisation of power is all I want from the incoming president,which ever it is.
“All I want is a genuine, not rhetorical, practical and detailed decentralization. As this is the true devolution of power to the various tiers of government and the reinforcement of a civil or legal society.”
