His strike team are the best till date: 1. NOI 2. Soludo 3. El-Rufai 4. Tonnie Iredia 5. Dora Akunyili 6. Chief Bola Ige 7. Oby Ezekwesili 8. Prof Jerry Gana 9. Frank Nweke Jr 10. Chukwuemeka Chikelu He established the NDDC, the NHIS, the EFCC, the ICPC, the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), the Excess Crude Account (ECA), & so many other institutions. He increased derivation formula to Crude Oil Host Communities from 3 to 13%. He heralded The New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) as well. This AU program was adopted in 2001 as the precursor to The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). NEPAD is a policy framework for accelerating economic co-operation & integration among African countries. The slogan was ONE NIGERIA, ONE NATION! I remember vividly how the National Orientation Agency (NOA) drove up the national consciousness in Nigerians. Certain jingles were played intermittently on NTA & on Radio Nigeria. Embodied by the spirit of “One People, One Nation,” they aroused the spirits of Nationalism & Patriotism in most Nigerians. Give this man his accolades please. He understood UNITY like no one else. He was a detribalized nationalist to the core. Once you were good & could do the job? You were hired! Your tribe or religion didn’t matter. He wasn’t a Saint, but he did Nigeria & the continent of Africa right (at a time people were trying to come out of the torture & the trauma of the Military Era). Chief Olusegun Matthew Okikiola Ogunboye Aremu Obasanjo is whoever he said he was! Omo!! Nigeria has seen BETTER DAYS! I could write you a book on this man. 👏👏
