IN SHORT

Olusegun Obasanjo, military general, leading diplomat, and the former President of Nigeria, has devoted his entire life to a vision of peace, democracy, education and opportunity for his beloved country. For several decades he has been a prominent voice throughout Nigeria and Africa, and today he is as active as ever, particularly through his Foundation. The underlying pattern has always been the same – helping and serving others: “I have always loved coming to the aid of people who need help. Anywhere in the world you go, there is no shortage of people in need.”
