OBJ goes back to school; registers for Masters degree

Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo is set to return back to school as he aims to acquire a higher degree in Christian Theology.

77-year-old OBJ will formally enroll as a graduate student into National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) in Lagos state on Tuesday.

Back in 2009, Obasanjo obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in same NOUN just two years after he left office.

OBJ confirmed the new by telling Premium Times that it was important for him to make some commitments towards achieving his aspirations in life.

“I’m going back to school because I have to have something to aspire to in every endeavour of life, I always aspire to something new in my farm. I do that in my international activities. I do it in my writing. I do it in the improvement of my academic work which helps to sharpen my brain and strengthen my faith.”

When asked how he was going to cope combining his studies with his tight international engagements, Mr. Obasanjo said he would take advantage of the flexibility of the National Open University’s system.

“Fortunately, the Open University is flexible enough and I will definitely be able to cope. I was able to cope when I did the Post Graduate. I was also busy during the period,” he said.
