The Executive Director, Centre for the Vulnerable and the Underprivileged, CENTREP, Oghenejabor Ikimi, in a statement made available to National Mirror in Asaba, yesterday, said that such move should be jettisoned. “The panacea to Nigeria’s underdevelopment and disunity lie in practicing true federalism, resource control and regional autonomy.”
