Born in 1914 was Nigeria following the amalgamation of its Northern and Southern Protectorates by the British Colonial Administration. In land mass, Nigeria is one of the largest in Africa occupying a territory of over 923,768 square kilometre. In population and quality of human resources, it is one of the greatest in the world. In mineral resources deposit and raw materials’ portfolio, it is arguably second to none in the universe. But in the league of developed and industrialized nations, Nigeria cannot be found even ninety-nine (99) years after it came into existence, and fifty=three (53) years as an autonomous nation. Perhaps most painful is the fact that it is not showing any sign of heading in that direction rather of running farther away from it.
