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
