I left $45bn in foreign reserves

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo said yesterday in Lagos that he left $45 billion in the nation’s foreign reserves when leaving office in 2007.

 

Obasanjo whose book, Baba’s Story: Nigeria is 50, was launched in Lagos also said his administration left an unshared $20 billion and a total debt of $2 billion.
 

Although the former president did not speak much while making his remarks after the book launch, he said he wrote the book purposely for the Nigerian youth in celebration of the country’s 50th anniversary.

Obasanjo urged Nigerian children to prepare themselves for future responsibilities, work hard at school, try their best and benefit from his story, mistakes and successes.

Our correspondent observed that prominent Nigerians shunned the book launch as the Special Guest of Honour, Senator David Mark and the Chief launcher, Alhaji Aliko Dangote were absent. The Senate President was represented by Senator Saminu Turaki, former Governor of Jigawa State while Dangote was represented by his Special Assistant, Oladeinde Brown.

Other invited guests that were represented at the event include the governor of Niger State Babangida Aliyu and his Imo State counterpart, Ikedi Ohakim.
