Former President Olusegun Obasanjo called for the urgent end to abject poverty across Africa.
Obasanjo stated that if China could lift 700 million people out of poverty, Nigeria should be able to do something about the abject poverty being faced by its citizens.
Speaking during Dele Momodu’s leadership lecture, ‘How to end hunger and poverty in Africa,’ Obasanjo, in his keynote address, posited that “before we talk about food, security is key.”
