Nigeria has disappointed the world —Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says since Nigeria got its independence 63 years ago, the country has not lived up to expectations.

He spoke in Abuja during the public presentation of a book written by a former Minister of Trades, Investment and Industry, Olusegun Aganga.

He said at independence, Nigeria was viewed as a shining light to the black race. Obasanjo said to chart a new course for the country, the leaders needed to admit their failure.

He identified two major issues which are inter-related on the factors for all-round development, saying that they are peace and security which we cannot achieve without justice, equity and inclusive society.
