Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday, highlighted some of the
reasons why all Nigerian leaders after his administration were unable to
increase power generation from where he left it 10 years ago.
He also said Lagos would become Africa’s third largest economy before in his lifetime, noting that the state government was already making it an economic hub.
Speaking in Lagos at the launch of a book, “Making Africa Work,” which he co-authored with Director of Brenthurst Foundation, Dr. Greg Mills; President of NEWSEUM, Dr. Jeffrey Herbst and Major General Dickie Davis (retd), Obasanjo said lack of good leadership, continuity in governance and financial constraints were responsible for the diminishing status of power generation in the country.
