He emphasised need for traditional rulers of various communities to mobilise and motivate their natives both at home and in the diaspora towards giving back to their communities.

Prince Adeniyi who said traditional rulers have roles to play in the development of their various communities, noted that the era of monarchs staying in their palaces expecting largesse is over. He added that the overall development of their communities must be their goal.

Also speaking, a Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, Professor Babatunde Agbola charged Nigerians, particularly those from rural communities to develop interest in the growth and development of their communities.
