LAGOS \u2013 Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Malam Lamido Sanusi, Thursday, said Nigeria has no business being where it was today, considering how well God had endowed the nation.<\/p>\n

He was guest speaker at the 5th Annual Hijrah lecture of the Lagos State House of Assembly, at the Assembly complex.<\/p>\n

Delivering his lecture on\u00a0 Societal Reformation: The role of Muslims, Sanusi said that despite being a major oil-producing nation, poverty, lack and deprivation reigns supreme.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe are an oil-producing country. How come 90 per cent of our people are living on less than two dollars a day? How come 70 per cent of our people are living on less than one dollar a day?<\/p>\n

\u201dHow come we have so many women dying during child birth? How come we have so many children, who are out of school. How come life expectancy is down to 55 or 54? What has happened to us? We need to ask what we have done?\u201d Sanusi said.<\/p>\n

He admonished Muslims to speak out against immorality and corruption in the society, and be ready to say the truth always even if they will not be loved for doing so.<\/p>\n

He condemned the attitude of the average Nigerian of wanting to take more than his fair share in everything, saying \u201cthat is the very genesis of corruption, which practically every Nigerian is guilty of.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called on the leaders, especially those in government to remember that Allah will ask all about that which He had placed in their care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
