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.
