Benin 60 Years Leadership - Kokou Missogbe Thomas R Akogbe - Bog

This book emphasizes that there was no significant progress since 1960. Statistic analysis shows that the country¿s economy was even better the time of president Hubert Maga during independency time than the time of Yayi Boni and Patrice Talon. The economy was at the worst level in the time of Marxist-Leninist of Mathieu Kerekou but president Nicephore Soglo did a great job by recovering the economy and put the GDP rate to 5.6%. It is very important to notify that since 1990, Benin had just experienced only one great leader who worked hard to make positive change in this country. Beninese¿s people are still expecting until today a great leader like Nicephore Soglo but could not find one because since 1996 every president had left the office with a deficit budget and the country level of poverty is getting worst and worst. It means that there is no progress but only poverty, an increase of unemployment, increase of corruption, no freedom of press or speech.
