However, he still believes that the roles of journalists can never be dwarfed. He says that three things are the problems of Nigeria, security, power and Infrastructure. He says that security of lives and property are the major functions of the federal republic of Nigeria should adequately take care of. He says that power and energy are very important in any given nation because with power and energy constantly supplied to the citizenry, that will attract foreign investors to invest heavily and foreign investors here and there, the unemployment rate would be reduced. With power and energy constantly supplied, small business owners would be able to function at full capacity.

Adeleye says, that the Federal government has to invest in infrastructure that would bring the dividends of democracy to the electorate.

Adeleye Says that democracy is practiced differently in different nations. For instance the way democracy is practiced in United Kingdom is quite different from the United States of America, Germany, Canada, South Africa et’al.

He says the problems of Nigeria are very easy to solve, if there is a political will from the leaders.
