“Despite the great opportunities of the past, Nigeria has failed to live up to the dreams of its founding fathers and the hopes of successive generations of its citizens.

 

“It is based on this that we decided to set up this Rescue Nigeria Project. We want to salvage this country and see how we can fix the mess. We want to set a template and key criteria leaders must have before they can attain any political position,” he said.

 

 

In his opening remarks, the National Coordinator of RNP, Bugaje explained that the Rescue Nigeria Project is founded on the premise that the problems of this country, many and varied as they are, all emanate from poor leadership.
