Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has had his first day in class as a Masters/Ph.d student of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). The president is studying for a masters and doctorate degree in Christian Theology.

The class which took place in Ota, Ogun State was held with his internal supervisor Dr. Philip Tachin, a lecturer in Systematic Theology and a pastor.

Asked for motivation for his studies of the degree, the president indicated that he was optimistic that additional knowledge in this area will help him understand how he can use religion more in the alleviation of problems that affect people at the grass-roots.

After receiving an outline for the course, he was given his first assignment to review some literature on the subject and asked to present a research paper for review.
