GNI CONGRATULATES OBASANJO ON DOCTORATE DEGREE

Charges Youth to Embrace Knowledge...
Investment magnate and two time Gubernatorial candidate in
Ogun state, Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka (GNI), has
congratulated former President Olusegun Obasanjo for
successfully bagging a Doctorate Degree (Ph.D) from the
National Open University.
Isiaka, a First Class graduate from the University of Ife, now
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) noted that Baba
Obasanjo's knack for acquiring knowledge stands him out
among true African statesmen.
He described the achievement as no mean feat because it is
rare to see any African at Obasanjo's age and social status to
submit himself to the theoretical and empirical rigours
required to attain that level of academic prowess.
The Promoter of The Believe Movement (TBM), a
sociopolitical mass movement said, "Our generation should be
proud of an enigma like Chief Obasanjo whose life is an open
book. If as an Octogenarian, he can still be acquiring
knowledge and academic garlands, then he has sent a clear
message to all of us that age should not be a barrier to go to
school and learn more.
Continuing, "Besides, Baba is telling us with this achievement
to take the issue of education very seriously in Nigeria and
especially in Ogun State where he comes from. That is why
development of human capital is one of the cardinal
programmes I will pursue in government from 2019, God
willing".
The gubernatorial hopeful further stated, "At this moment,
when the quest to acquire quick wealth instead of knowledge
has become a norm in our society, I urge our youths to learn
from Baba and know that there is no alternative to knowledge
as a guarantee for sustainable success".
He prayed God to grant Dr Olusegun Obasanjo long life and
good health to continue to play his fatherly role to Nigeria,
Africa and the world in general.
