TOKYO: Nissan Motor Co is considering claiming damages against ousted boss Carlos Ghosn over alleged financial misconduct, the automaker's chief executive told shareholders on Monday, adding the scandal would not be fixed overnight.

"This is not an issue we can fix overnight. We need to fulfill the task and prepare the company for our next steps, and then pass the leadership baton," he told shareholders.Saikawa started the meeting by apologizing for the inconvenience the scandal had caused, which was followed by a deep bow by him and a panel of Nissan executives and directors.
