Obasanjo Adopts Real Estate Expert Femi Joshua as Son

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo publicly adopted renowned real estate entrepreneur Dr. Femi Joshua as his son during a leadership roundtable event in Lagos.

This emotional moment occurred after Joshua expressed gratitude to Obasanjo for his economic reforms that transformed Nigeria's telecommunications sector.

During the event, Joshua asked Obasanjo to accept him as a son, to which Obasanjo responded affirmatively, drawing applause from the audience. Following this public gesture, Obasanjo warmly received Joshua at his residence in Ota, Ogun State, where they spent time discussing leadership lessons and mentorship.

Joshua pledged to honor this relationship and uphold values of discipline, courage, and integrity in service to the nation. The encounter also provided an opportunity for Joshua to present his flagship real estate development project, Jabi Prime Hub, located in Abuja.
