According to a release on Tuesday by the NOUN Director of Media and Publicity, Ibrahim Sheme, the former President was appointed as a facilitator at the institution by the NOUN Vice-Chancellor, Prof Abdalla Adamu.
Sheme said Obasanjo had expressed satisfaction at the office space allotted him and promised to work for the progress of the university. The release said, “Former President of Nigeria, Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo, is now a bona fide worker of NOUN, as he inspected his office space at the institution’s Abeokuta Study Centre in Ogun State on Tuesday, in his capacity as a facilitator.
