Steadfast presidential leadership and revenues from the discovery of oil are making the dream of modernization a possibility in Equatorial Guinea.  In 1968, after 190 years of Spanish Colonial Rule, Equatorial Guinea gained its independence.  Under its first post-colonial government, almost all investment in infrastructure was abandoned. Until 1996 when oil was discovered, Equatorial Guinea was represented on almost every list of the world’s poorest countries. Since 1996, the Equatorial Guinean Government has responsibly invested oil revenues in the development of government, social, and infrastructural systems.
