Speaking to journalists at the 10th edition of the annual widows New Year party in Ode-Omu, Osun State, Senior Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to adopt the Pareto’s Principle.
The principle he advised the president states that in governance, just 20% of governance time is dedicated to the past, 'otherwise, it will take forever for majority of Nigerians to see changes.'
The man of God who gave the advice, said going by Pareto’s Principle, the Federal Government should dedicate 20% of its resources to going after perceived looters, while 80% should be given to creating an enabling environment for Nigerians.
"Buhari is a man of great integrity, who wants the best for the country. But if he spends all his time pursuing looters, the majority of us who did not steal will suffer.
"Therefore, he must use the Pareto’s Principle to approach governance. If you have your eyes permanently on the rear view mirror, you cannot drive fast. The past deserves just 20 per cent attention," Pastor Ashimolowo stated.
