| Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, PhD. |
Tenacity,
Determination and Focus are the three best of words that best describes former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, PhD, who today was awarded a Doctorate Degree in
Christian Theology by the National Open University, not honorary as being
awarded to our politicians of today, but LETTERED and I’m very proud of him.
The former President was on Friday pronounced worthy and
competent for the award of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Christian Theology
after 163 minutes robust defense of his voluminous thesis before a six–man
panel.
The degree was awarded to Obasanjo by the Department of
Religious Studies, Faculty of Arts of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN),
Abeokuta Study Centre, Ogun State.
The panelists are Prof. Deji Ayegboyin (Major Supervisor), Dr.
Mustapha Raheem Adejoro,(Head of Department, Religious Studies,NOUN), Prof.
Nebath Tanglang (School of Postgraduate Studies, NOUN), Dr. Samaila Mande
(Dean, Postgraduate School, NOUN), Prof. Godwin Akper (Internal Supervisor and
Dean, Faculty of Arts, NOUN) and Prof. Cletus Gotan (External Supervisor).
Asked by Dr. Samaila Mande, who chaired the panel, to justify in
a nutshell why he should be awarded a PhD degree of the institution, Obasanjo
said he had put in “enough study” and “intellectual rigours” to produce his
work based on diligent guide and supervision from his teachers and supervisors
and so, deserves to be so awarded.
Obasanjo’s PhD Thesis is titled: “Resolving the Unfinished
Agenda in Liberation Theology: Leadership, Poverty and Underdevelopment in
North Eastern Nigeria.”
The ex- President whose matriculation number reads NOU
146058901, submitted the thesis to his department as part of the requirements
for the award of a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Christian Theology.
