Former
President Olusegun Obasanjo Monday said Nigeria would have made
remarkable progress if his successors had continued with the policies
and programmes of his administration.
He declared that while the
late former President Umaru Yar’Adua reversed some of his policies, the
succeeding administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan also slipped
into massive corruption, which his (Obasanjo) regime fought to a
standstill.
He also said though President Muhammadu Buhari may
not be actively knowledgeable about economy and foreign affairs matters,
he believed in the current leader’s fight against graft and insecurity.
Obasanjo
spoke as the special guest of honour at an international conference
organised by the Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.
The event
was attended by the university’s Chancellor, Bishop David Oyedepo,
Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Prof Joy Ogwu,
and Executive Vice Chairman, Ibadan School of Government and Public
Policy, Dr Tunji Olaopa, among other dignitaries
