HAFSAT ABIOLA CASTILLO RESPONDS TO UNILAG NAME CHANGE

Mrs Abiola-Costello  in Abeokuta, the hometown of the late MKO ABIOLA, commented on President Jonathan’s announcement.

In an interview with journalists in the Ogun state capital, she urged the federal government to give more priority to reduce the prevailing poverty level in the country, than naming schools and roads.
“What I want to say to President Jonathan is that what we can do to honour the heroes past is to make sure that they do not die in vain.”
According to her, “Nigerian people are still poor, majority of them are poor today, even more so than in 1993 when he (MKO Abiola) won his election and I hope that President can apply himself to addressing poverty in Nigeria.”
“That is the most important thing, more than naming school, naming roads. Those things are nice but the true benefit for my father is that Nigeria people should not be poor anymore” she stated.

I hope GEJ listens to her comments on Poverty!
