Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has charged African leaders to find homegrown solutions to the various problems facing the continent. Obasanjo spoke on Wednesday while playing host to a delegation of students and youths from several African countries at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. The delegation, among whom were students
leaders from Ethiopia and the Tigray Region, was led by Osisiogu Osikenyi, the President of All-African Students Union . The students were on a ‘Thank you visit’ to Obasanjo for facilitating the permanent end to hostilities agreement between the government of Ethiopia and the Tigray Peoples' Liberation Front in Pretoria last year. Obasanjo said Africa must consider the peculiarities of its people in designing and implementing workable homegrown solutions to its challenges.
“It is a great lesson for us to know that whatever may be our problem - political, economic, social - in Africa, we can solve them if we go about seeking solutions rightly. “The peace that we were able to achieve in Tigray between TPLF and the Federal Government of Ethiopia is what you and I will regard as finding African solution to African problem. And this is what our leaders have been clamouring for, even from independence in the early 1960s.
