Three roads to tomorrow

A story of the journey of three Nigerian students between their homes and Ibadan University. The three boys live far apart in the three regions of this vast country. The film is designed to show what Nigeria is like today and to illustrate the help which oil power (BP) is giving to the development of the country and its standard of living.
