According to him, “As an evangelist of restructuring, I have always said restructuring is not a North versus South issue. Restructuring will advance the development of every part of this country, it will ensure all the exotic minerals in the states are properly exploited to create jobs for people in the states and pay necessary taxes to the federal government. Restructuring is not about oil and gas alone, its about leveraging all natural resources that abound in all parts of the country to engender development.”
