THE TWO-TIME President of Nigeria will visit Oxford to talk about African leadership.
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo served as Nigeria’s military Head of State from 1976–79, becoming the first military ruler in Nigeria to hand over power to a democratically elected government.
In 1999, he was elected civilian President and held office until 2007.
He has developed a strong international profile as a result of holding various positions in the United Nations.
The event is free and will take place in the Blavatnik School of Government at 5.30pm on January 8.
