Celebrity journalist, Dele Momodu says Nigeria needs a visionary leader to replicate in the country the giant strides being recorded in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
He stated this in a tweet on Friday while reacting to the Middle Eastern nation’s decision to put up green-white lighting on Burj Khalifa, a 2,722-feet skyscraper situated in Dubai, to celebrate Nigeria on her 60th independence anniversary.
The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world.
Momodu said that only a leader with vision taller than the Burj Khalifa would be able to tackle the “gargantuan challenges” confronting Nigeria and set the nation on the path of greatness.
