Publisher Description: The name Olusegun Obasanjo is not strange to anybody around the world. In Nigeria, Obasanjo is a household name, a civil war hero, an administrator, a successful farmer, the first military head of State to have organized an election and handed over successfully to a civilian government, a nation-builder who initiated most of Nigeria's national heritage and a builder of men who introduced many Nigerian technocrats to governance and their indelible marks in governance are still very visible, the only Nigerian to have been nominated as United Nation's Secretary General, the first former head of State to be imprisoned, though on a wrong accusation, and the first person to have ruled Nigeria twice (between 1976-1979 and 1999-2007). |
