LONDON (AP) — Saying two terms is enough, Nigeria’s president said Saturday that trying to uproot the corruption entangling Africa’s biggest oil-exporting nation and making strides to transform the economy were the main challenges during his seven years in power.
In a wide-ranging interview in London, President Olusegun Obasanjo also spoke of efforts to calm Nigeria’s south, where militants are battling the government for control of the area’s oil wealth. He said he is addressing the need for jobs and cracking down on ”criminality” there.
