By Innocent Anaba
Former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor, Prof Charles Soludo, yesterday, lamented that poverty is becoming a norm in the country,\u00a0 as the children of the poor have no hope of breaking even, unless governments take urgent step to check the trend.<\/p>\n

Solodu, who was the guest speaker at the 10th year memorial and inauguration of the foundation\/book presentation in honour of the late Chief Ben Nwazojie, SAN, added that about five to eight per cent of Nigerians control over 90 per cent of the country\u2019s wealth, while the rest struggle to survive.<\/p>\n

He regretted that education, which served as a vehicle for bridging the gap between the rich and the poor, as children of both attended the same school, is now endangered because\u00a0 the poor are forced to attend public schools which lack chairs and desks, while the children of the rich attend expensive private schools, thereby eliminating the hope of bridging the gap.<\/p>\n

He said that the rich should not be too comfortable with their wealth while failing to give back to the society, adding that things are getting to a point in the country where the rich will not sleep because the poor are awake and \u201cit is also getting to a point where the children of the rich can\u2019t walk the streets because of the anger of children of the poor.\u201d<\/p>\n

He changed the rich and wealthy Nigerians to consider investing in the society, otherwise, the same society will be a hindrance to the enjoyment of their wealth.<\/p>\n

Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte, Chief Tony Idigbe, SAN, were among dignitaries at the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
