Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has attributed
Nigeria’s lack of progress to failure of successive governments to continue
with good policies put in place by their predecessors.
Obasanjo made the observation while speaking during a panel
of discussion organised by Africa Finance Corporation, AFC, in Abuja, on
Tuesday.
The former President also pointed out that the African
continent has been unable to develop due to the penchant of its leaders to
discontinue the few things that had done right.
According to the former President, “I remember taking 40
young and up-coming Africans to Singapore some years back. Lee Kuan Yew hadn’t
written his book “from Third World to First World,”and we wanted him to tell us
how he did it.
“We wanted to know the magic and Yew told us there was no
magic.
“He said: There is no magic. We did a few things right and
we continue to do them right. We in Africa have done a few things right. Our
problem is that we don’t continue to do them right.
“Many things are
wrong about Africa but a few are right. We should continue to do those things
that are right.”
