MahamaFormer President John D. Mahama on Tuesday chaired a ceremony in Abuja, Nigeria, to inaugurate the Olusegun Obasanjo Centre for Good Governance and Development at the National Open University of Nigeria. The National Open University of Nigeria which started in the early 1980s was closed down a few years later, until 2001 when then President Obasanjo reopened the institution. It currently has over 300,000 active students across the country. President Mahama who chaired the inaugural ceremony challenged the Centre to research into new and emerging developmental issues and how these can affect governance, democracy and the development of African countries. Nigeria, he said, has nothing to fear from Ghana or Cote D’Ivoire in an integrated subregion.
