Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has reaffirmed his belief in Nigeria’s ability to chart its own path to success, declaring that the country possesses all the resources, both human and material, needed for greatness.
Speaking on Monday at the inaguration of new substations of the Geometric Power Plant in Ogbor Hill, Aba, Abia State, Obasanjo said his decision to issue a licence to Prof. Barth Nnaji to operate the power company was driven by his faith in Nigeria’s indigenous capabilities.
He praised the progress recorded by Geometric Power, describing it as proof that Nigerians can deliver on complex projects if given the opportunity.
“When I was giving you the encouragement, two people came to me to ask why I was giving Nigerians such responsibility, that they would disappoint me. You have not disappointed me and you did not disappoint all those, including everyone that supported you to realise this project,” Obasanjo said.
