More Information
Nigeria is a country of great extremes and enormous variety. The largest country in West Africa, it also has the highest population of any African nation and is home to people of almost all African ethnic groups. It is Africa's major producer of oil, though much of the wealth derived from this 'black gold' has been squandered or lost through corruption. Many Nigerians are desperately poor, though a small few - mainly city-dwellers - are extremely wealthy. This book examines the ways in which Nigeria is aiming to learn the lessons of its past and is facing the challenges of the future.
