Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has enrolled as a student of a university in the nation’s capital, Abuja, his office said on Thursday.
The 69-year-old retired general, who will step down in May 2007 having served the limit of two four-year terms, matriculated as a distance-learning student of the National Open University of Nigeria on Wednesday.
Obasanjo pledged to be an obedient student, complying with the rules and regulations of the university’s authorities.
Presidency sources said the president is expected to pursue a degree in religious studies after leaving power next year. — Sapa-AFP
