FORMER president, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, yesterday, dissected the state of socio-
economic affairs of the country, especially the
initiatives of the current administration, and returned
a verdict of doubt. His words:
"The problem today is that it is doubtful if the
current administrative system is imbued with right
mix of skills and values to successfully implement a
well-articulated programme of change."
He also averred that the country was on its way to
another debt burden unless the rising debts were
creatively addressed.
Obasanjo, who recalled how he led Nigeria to exit
the Paris Club and how he pursued public service
reforms, regretted that the gains he made had been
reversed.
The former president made the remarks at the
conference of Ibadan School of Government and
Public Policy, ISGPP, Ibadan, Oyo State.
The former President stressed the need for
government to kick out all forms of corruption in the
polity, provide jobs for unemployed youths and be
committed to change.
