The Ondo state chairman of Association of Professional Bodies of Nigeria (APBN), Pastor Gboyega Akerele has berated the federal government of Nigeria over preference for expatriates in handling projects in the country.

Speaking at a press conference heralding the national conference of APBN that will take place on Wednesday in Akure the Ondo state capital, Pastor Akerele said professionals are suffering in Nigeria due to lack of patronage while foreigners are ripping bountifully across the country.

Speaking further, Pastor Akerele said for Nigeria to attain greatness, the polity of the country must not be left in the hands of current people in politics who do not know what to do to improve on the nation`s socioeconomic status.
