The President of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB), Akinwunmi Adesina, has expressed disappointment over the state of affairs in Nigeria 64 years after securing independence from Britain.
Adesina, who delivered an address at the 90th birthday celebration of Nigeria’s former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd), on Saturday in Abuja, noted that the country should be among the developed nations of the world more than six decades after independence.
He said Nigeria’s founding fathers had a dream of a country that would be the shining light of Africa and indeed the black race before the independence in 1960.
