The Chancellor of Covenant University in Ota, Dr David
Oyedepo said Nigeria has not succeeded in finding solutions to her problems
because the people are not ready to take responsibility.
Oyedepo, who is also the founder of Living Faith Churches
Worldwide said that while advising Nigerian universities to strive to embark on
more research in order to solve society’s problems.
According to Oyedepo, there was a need for universities to
continue to engage in more gainful research that would bring about food
sufficiency, healthcare delivery, improved practice in agriculture and shelter
for all in the country.
“Every problem, I have discovered, has a solution. But
without a problem-solver, such problems become insurmountable.
“As long as we remain
regimented, we will continue to be relegated,” Oyedepo said.
The Chancellor described universities as places where
solutions to society’s problems are found and value added to humanity.
He identified some of society’s problems to include food
needs, farming, healthcare, shelter, child delivery and care, among others.
“Manpower is the most intelligent creature of all God’s
creations, but our society has not succeeded in finding solutions to its
problems yet because it is not ready to take responsibility,” Oyedepo added.
