‘Nigeria will turn around for better’ – Obasanjo

Mrs Bola Obasanjo, wife of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, conveyed optimism about Nigeria's future during her meeting with a delegation from the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Ogun State Chapter. The event took place at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta on Saturday. Mrs Obasanjo emphasized that Nigeria is a land rich in resources and blessed, promising a positive turnaround for the country.

She expressed her prayers for the upcoming World Public Relations Forum, scheduled to take place in Abuja in November. This event will showcase Nigeria's culture, creative potential, and leadership in global discussions on responsible communication, enhancing the nation's global reputation and contributing to a positive national turnaround through international engagement.

Mrs Obasanjo stated, "You are doing this to encourage the youth, the less privileged, the downtrodden and the marginalised. When you serve humanity, you serve God, and Almighty God will not forsake you." In response, Mrs Oluwaseun Boye, the NIPR Ogun State Chapter Chairman, clarified that the visit marked the conclusion of the chapter's roadshow and aimed to raise awareness about the global event and its closing cultural celebration.
