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 yesterday 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.

“We’ve disappointed ourselves, we’ve disappointed Africa, we’ve disappointed the black race and we’ve disappointed the world,” he said. Obasanjo said to chart a new course for the country, the leaders needed to admit their failure.
