A frontline politician, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, on Sunday said while Nigeria at 100 was worth celebrating it was important that the nation must address the negative tendencies undermining its development.
.
Musa however said in an interview in Kaduna that in spite of its problems, Nigeria has great potentials for growth.
.
"In spite of the problems, 100 years of Nigeria's existence is worth celebrating.
.
"This is because it would have been a different story and a most likely pathetic story if Nigeria had not become one.
.
"As one country, Nigeria is not only big in territory but a very prosperous country, taking into account its human and material resources.
.
"We have problems, no doubt, but all other countries in the world had their developmental challenges too," the former governor of the old Kaduna state in the Second Republic said.
.
Musa however said there must be conscious changes in the nation's socio-economic and political system for Nigeria to overcome its problems.
