Adesina laments Nigeria’s underdevelopment, 64 years after independence

Adesina said that after 64 years of independence, the country should be among the developed nations of the world.

Adesina remarked while delivering a lecture on “building a global Nigeria” to mark the 90th birthday anniversary of rtd. Gen. Yakubu Gowon in Abuja.

He said that before independence in 1960, the founding fathers had a dream of a Nigeria that would be the shining light of Africa and indeed the black race.
