Former Vice Chancellor of the University of Benin, Professor Emeritus Richard Anao has painted a scary picture of the Nigerian situation insisting that a lot needs to change if the nation must deliver on its promises.

Professor Anao gave the assessment at a one day seminar on Self Reliance for the Youth of Nigeria held at the University of Benin, Benin City.

He warned that the negative impact of the Nigerian economy was driving Nigerian youth to a future of misery and helplessness.

The former UNIBEN Vice Chancellor urged Nigerian youths to explore entrepreneurial ventures as propellers for self reliance.
