Treat Nigerians with Human Face for God to Bless you-Cleric to Political Office Holders

Political office holders have been called upon to treat their fellow Nigerians with a touch of humanity, for God to bless their activities and works. This call was made by an Ibadan-based Christian cleric, Pastor Opeyemi Ajayi. ''Nigeria's leaders must start to treat their fellow Nigerians with a human face, by addressing the core causes of hunger, poverty and unemployment. This would go a long way in straightening the paths they thread for God to bless their activities and works. When they treat their fellow human beings very well, of course God will bless all they do,'' Pastor Ajayi noted.

In several states of Nigeria, the lack of goodwill has made those presently in the saddle build on the encouraging foundation previous administrations have laid in most sectors; the health sector is inclusive.

Transparency and accountability are crucial to the management of health facilities only if those- in-charge realize this fact.
