Obasanjo urges reforms, restoration of law programme at NOUN

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called for major reforms at the National Open University of Nigeria, including the restoration of its suspended law programme. He described the law degree as vital for widening access to professional education, especially for working adults and those unable to attend regular universities. Obasanjo made the appeal in Abeokuta when he received the new NOUN Vice Chancellor, Prof Uduma Uduma, and members of his management team. He urged the institution to modernise its operations, increase student enrolment and make better use of technology and artificial intelligence in teaching and learning. The former president, who once studied at NOUN and played a key role in its growth, praised the university’s contributions to expanding access to higher education across Nigeria.

Boko Haram has lasted longer than civil war Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says the Boko Haram insurgency has now lasted for about 15 years, making it longer than the Nigerian civil war. He described the prolonged conflict as a serious failure in addressing insecurity and development challenges in the country.​ Obasanjo spoke while comparing the three year civil war to the insurgency which began around 2009 and has continued despite several military operations. He said the situation shows that Nigeria has not tackled the root causes of extremism, including poverty, unemployment and poor governance.​ He also warned that long running conflicts weaken national unity and drain resources that should be used for education, health and infrastructure. Obasanjo called for a comprehensive approach that combines security action with dialogue, economic opportunities and community based solutions.​ The former president urged current leaders to learn from past mistakes and design policies […]

Obasanjo: Why I Rejected El-Rufai as My Successor

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that he once rejected a proposal for Nasir El-Rufai to succeed him as President in 2007. Obasanjo made this disclosure at the Ajibosin Platform Annual Symposium in Abeokuta. He stated that the suggestion was made by former Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka, who was a guest at the event. Interjecting during Chidoka's speech, Obasanjo recalled the proposal. "He didn't mention that when I was leaving government, he was pushing that his friend, El-Rufai, should be brought in as my successor," Obasanjo said. The former president explained that he declined the recommendation because he believed El-Rufai, who served as the FCT Minister at the time, was "not yet mature enough" to lead Nigeria. Obasanjo added that Chidoka later agreed with his assessment. "Many years later, after seeing his performance, he came back to me and said, […]
