This suggestion formed part of Governor Adeleke’s remark at the convocation ceremony of Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State.
While stating that the solution was devolution rather than centralisation of governance powers and responsibilities, Governor Adeleke called for more focus on economic federalism.
He added that it would deepen subnational prosperity and create an enabling environment for job creation and boost local capacity across the sectors.
While admitting that the graduates were leaving school at a turbulent economic period in the life of the nation, he advised them to take the crisis as an opportunity.
He also assured that the government was not resting on its oars but was working to address the parlous state of the economy.
The Governor added that his administration would continue to support President Bola Tinubu as all levels of government grapple with the crisis at the moment.
Addressing the graduates, the Pro Chancellor of Adeleke University, Dr Deji Adeleke tasked them to sustain hope in the time tested reality that hard times would surely pass.
Adeleke warned that under no circumstances should they lose hope of a better tomorrow.
