A Pandemic of Mistrust

Oluseun Onigbinde | TedxPortHarcourt 2020Dec 2020
Oluseun's interest is on the declining state of living in Nigeria due to lack of accountability and empathy in the Nigeria public sector. 
He talked about how Nigeria was a spring of hope at the start of the 4th Republic and how it found progress as seen in the rising GDP per capita. Unfortunately, the GDP per capita has been on the decline and the Nigerian leadership has not shown enough effort to reverse the tide.
