Rivers
State
Governor
Chibuike
Rotimi
Amaechi
has said
Nigeria
would
develop faster should a more decentralized system
of governance be in place.
Governor, who spoke at the 2013 physicians’ week
of the Rivers State Chapter of the Nigerian Medical
Association (NMA) at the NMA Secretariat in Port
Harcourt on Wednesday, noted that items on the
Federal Government’s exclusive list have placed
restrictions on states.
"Part of the problem of Nigeria today is beyond
corruption and is the totalitarianism where one man
is in Abuja and completely decides whether you will
feed or not and we are saying no, it’s wrong.
"A substantial part of the problems in Rivers state
today is the fact that the police commissioner is
being manipulated from Abuja", Amaechi stated.
Governor also called the doctors employed by the
Rivers State to "to show commitment, sympathy or
empathy" in their work and said they have no
business going on strike since the state
government.
