ADP Congratulates Former President Obasanjo Over His Academic Achievement.

Says Education Is The Light To The Soul Of Mankind 


The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has congratulated and saluted the former President, Chief Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo over his new academic achievement.

This was contained in a statement issued to newsmen on Sunday evening in Lagos by the Spokesman for ADP Lagos, Prince Adelaja Adeoye. He said that Chief Obasanjo is a distinguished statesman and a role model for many Nigerians home and abroad. 

The Party said that with his PhD in Christian Theology from the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN)  which he gave birth to as President; in order to open access to distance education, he has shown that he is a believer in the power of education and it is worth celebrating.

ADP said, Chief Obasanjo has proven to people who aspire to acquire an education that age is never a barrier. The former president has shown that education is very critical to human development.

The party spokesman said that the impact of education on leadership is limitless and urged leaders who have been in retirement for so long to also take the advantage of the National Open University of Nigeria to add academic value to their lives.

ADP said that as part of their agenda when given the opportunity to lead the country, that education and research will take a reasonable part of their yearly budget as they believe that education is the light to the soul of mankind and panacea to true development.

The party stated that part of the leadership crisis the country is currently facing is as a result of lack of proper education and must not be allowed to repeat itself, stressing further that the Ex-President and other statesmen should intervene in the numerous crisis rocking the country.
