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.
