Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged Nigerian leaders to effectively utilize the country’s abundant resources for the nation’s advancement.
His remarks came during the 40th anniversary celebration of the Methodist Archdiocese of Abuja on Sunday, where he emphasized Nigeria’s potential for prosperity through wise management of its assets.
Reflecting on a message from Methodist Prelate Dr. Oliver Aba, Obasanjo remarked on the need to acknowledge and appreciate God’s provisions. He noted that, like other resource-rich nations, Nigeria is blessed with vital resources such as the Rivers Niger and Benue, crude oil, and fertile land.
