The former president will formally enroll today as a graduate student at the the headquarters of the National Open University of Nigeria in Lagos.

Confirming the news to Premium Times, he said:

“I’m going back to school because I have to have something to aspire to in every endeavour of life, I always aspire to something new in my farm. I do that in my international activities. I do it in my writing. I do it in the improvement of my academic work which helps to sharpen my brain and strengthen my faith.”

When asked has how he would be able to study and cope with his other international engagements, Obasanjo gave credits to the flexibility of the National Open University’s system.

“Fortunately, the Open University is flexible enough and I will definitely be able to cope. I was able to cope when I did the Post Graduate. I was also busy during the period,” he said.

I wonder why Premium Times didn't ask him why he chose to study 'Christian Theology'.
