            <span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Most unchangeable socio-economic imbalance
confronting #Nigeria since 1960 independence is the progressive widening of the
gab between the Rich & the Poor a threatening circumstance which has
persisted over the years is fallout of incubuses age of corruption which has
sadly become a social numb & culture that is practiced by citizens,
particularly those having access to public fund trusted to them also to ensure
citizens welfare & security.<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The welfare</span></h2>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">                    & security</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">                                       of citizens</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">                                                                  is enshrined</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> in the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria as amended as fundamental objectives & directives principles of it
policy. It is unfortunate that this fundamental constitutional provision has
been trampled, dumped & ignored by those charged with the constitutional
duties to uphold the constitution & enforce it provision.<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In review, it neither the
military nor the civilian administration; either by omission or commission have
shown no tangible interest in terms of policy formulation & legislation to
mitigate & narrow the gab between the Rich & the poor in the society.
This socio-economic disparity is worst for the unemployed in rural community
where rural dwellers are merely ageing out of living due to the collapse of
socio-economic infrastructure, it’s complicated & compounded by the fact
that the Élite particularly the political class who are suppose to champion the
course of uplifting the Poor masses from the shackles of poverty are rather the
instrument in the vanguard of inflicting more pain & anguish, politician
are constantly directing tax payers money meant for the development in urban
& rural infrastructure, this unfortunate development is particularly
worrisome because it has been present over the years & no one seems to care
about the plague of these compatriots as manifested by decades of social &
economic hardship identified under the decayed rural infrastructure.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h2>
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">          Thus, it should be noted that the task present is enormous
& downturn. This is buttress by the fact that never before in the history
of Nigeria had Nigerians have great expectations than now because of the era of
change which is sweeping across the country. Politicians with tangible
developmental ideas should rise up & sponsor strategic bills & support
same to be enacted into law that would address socio-economic challenges
confronting the rural Poor masses or contribute 75% of their surplus to the
masses that trusted & voted for them. In the present situation, Nigeria
found itself in respect of socio-economic inconsistencies amongst various
segment of the society, it undesirable that policies of legislation that would
be such that will protect the week from exploitation by the powerful Élite.<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">To achieve this therefore,
transparency, accountability & selfless service should be the guardian
principle driving policy formulation & legislative actions, leaders should
rather focus on curing the disease than diagnosing the symptoms.              <o:p></o:p></span></h2>

their subsequent enactment into law are such that will provide for the
establishment of micro & small scale industries in rural communities to
reduce unemployment, the urban cities which is also facing the problem of
growth as a result of migration must therefore be balanced, public &
private schools should include in their curriculum vocational training for
those students with skills to be employers of labour after leaving school as
ways of bridging the gab between the Rich & the Poor in the society</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">.</span></h2>
