Nigeria - Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said Lagos will become Africa’s third largest economy before he dies.
Obasanjo stated this at the launch of a book titled, “Making Africa Work”, co-authored by the former president and three others.
He said the Lagos State government was working towards making the state an economic hub.
“(Even though) People said I look like someone who is in the departure lounge.
“Lagos will become the third largest economy before I take my boarding pass,” Obasanjo said.
