Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo

Obasanjo said though the country is not where it ought to be now, he expressed optimism that things will surely get better.

Obasanjo said “Our development is impaired; it is not what it ought to be, but we must get it right.”

“Unemployment is a major problem in the country today and if we don’t take care, it will consume all of us. In fact, the rising unemployment is a time bomb,” he added.
