Daily focus Nigeria

Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has said that no individual, living or dead has dominated the nation’s political space like ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo as he celebrates his 83rd birthday on the 5th of March 2020

So, quickly, we will be looking at his (Obasanjo) contributions to the development of Nigeria, the African continent and humanity

The former president led Nigeria to pay its foreign debts that the citizens could not imagine paying

Obasanjo bequeaths democracy to Nigeria. And after 21 years of the Fourth Republic, Nigeria has cause to celebrate your democratic credentials

The Obasanjo-led PDP administration unarguably revolutionized the nation’s investment hub in telecommunication, agriculture, banking, manufacturing, real estate, railways, road infrastructure, electricity, oil & gas, commerce, aviation, health, rural development, among others

Under Chief Obasanjo, Nigerians were empowered, job creation was a priority, massive employment opportunities, and a vibrant pension-system

During Obasanjo’s administration, he built very strong regulatory institutions including the establishment of anti-corruption agencies as well as good security system

It is with no doubts that Obasanjo remains one of the biggest, if not the biggest, political giant that happened to Nigeria

Happy birthday to you You sir
