Obasanjo's Legacy: Operation Feed the Nation and Universal Primary Education in Nigeria
Olusegun Obasanjo's legacy in Nigeria is analyzed, focusing on his initiatives during his military regime, including Operation Feed the Nation (OFN) for food security and Universal Primary Education (UPE) for education. The former military Head of State's efforts in agriculture and education aimed to address critical national issues.
UPE faced challenges, including opposition from traditional and religious leaders who perceived it as Christian-centric. Despite the program's impact on schooling attainment, it encountered resistance.
Obasanjo's regime, lasting three and a half years, left a mark on Nigeria's history, with his policies shaping the country's future in food security and education.
