The General Overseer of Victory Life Bible Church, Apostle Lawrence Achudume, has tasked the Nigerian Government to revive the comatose Bulk Purchase Corporations across the states, stressing that that was the best option to address the food shortage in the country
He spoke during a visit to the corporate headquarters of Penpushing Media at Moshood Abiola Way, Abeokuta.
The visit, in the Ogun State capital on Thursday, saw him stress that the revival of the corporation will control purchase and price.
The known frankly speaking cleric said on this the government does not need consultants to carry out operations at the bulk purchase corporations, and warned against politicising it by appointing politicians to be in charge, but professionals.
Achudume pointed out that Nigerians are not beggars and not lazy, hence the government at all levels should do the needful in making life meaningful and comfortable for them.
He said: “Government should activate the bulk purchase corporation.
“This will remove poverty.
“It will control price and control purchase.
“There are templates that can be used.
“Government does not need consultants for that, but professionals.
“Government should not politicise it.
“Nigerians are hardworking and not lazy.”
The clergyman noted that there was no big deal in becoming a president, governor, senator or House of Representatives member, emphasising that what is important is exhibiting good leadership by providing good governance.
He pointed out that it is unfortunate that reverse is the case in Nigeria, adding that the majority of those in positions of authority always see themselves above the governed, and subjecting them to maltreatment.
Achudume said: “There is no big deal in becoming president, governor, senator or member of the House of Representatives, but some of them see themselves as being above others.
